Bizzaro World - DC Comics

I read a lot of comic books when I was younger - DC Comics, Classics Illustrated, Archie Comics. Keep in the bottom left drawer of my desk. Never threw them away.

Superman and Supergirl were probably my favorites. One of the Superman tales that stuck with me was the story of Bizzaro World. On Bizzaro, or Htrae (Earth spelled backwards). It was in the late 60s when I read it. Why backwards? Because everything on Bizzaro was the opposite of Earth and its morals. Evil was good, beauty was ugly and sad was happy.

The drawing of bizzaros inhabitants was very rough, not all smooth edges like Superman. I was even more fascinated by the concept that everything was backwards in what was right and wrong. I though of it with a religious intrepretation such as Satan who lies and tells you black is white. It seemed more absurd, sorta of Existential. I still use the term "bizzaro" when I encounter something that is wrong put everyone around it seems to think of it as being normal.
