Description

Superstar writer Jason Aaron has returned to DC and not only is he taking on Superman for the first time, he's reimagining one of the Man of Steel's most unique and iconic villains in "The Worst Bizarro Story Ever"!

Bizarro... the wizard?!

With Superman trapped in a world gone mad, Metropolis has transformed into the City of Bizarro! It'll take an unlikely alliance for the Man of Steel to save the day.

Superman: Action Comics: Superstars Vol. 1 marks writer Jason Aaron's return to DC, teaming with acclaimed artist John Timms! Aaron rose to prominence with the acclaimed series Scalped, part of DC's legendary Vertigo imprint, before becoming a bona fide superstar with fan-favourite stints on just about every major Marvel character.

Now, Aaron is unleashed on comics' first and greatest superhero, and reinventing a beloved villain in the process!

This volume collects Action Comics #1061-1063.
