"Comics McCormick" was the name of the strip. Comics is a young boy who likes to collect & read comics. His favourite character is "Bingo the Wonder Boy" who gains his powers by shouting "Ka-Bang!" Naturally, Comics tries shouting the word, too, and ends up in a metafictional adventure with Bingo (who proves to be a poor sport and crybaby when Comics out-does Bingo in super-heroing). Comics, by the way, chooses the hero name "Comics the Kid Conqueror." They both fight Bingo's arch-nemesis, the mad scientist called "The Beard." The adventure is sadly revealed to be just another daydream of Comics' hyper-imagination. (c) Copper 2007

The first Bizarro was an imperfect duplication of Superboy. The lifeless animation was produced by a machine invented by a Dr. Dalton (which immediately afterwards exploded) After several run-ins with Superboy, Bizarro was disintegrated into the lifeless molecules from which he was formed. He next appeared in Action Comics #244, where Lex Luthor having recreated the machine, aims it on Superman to create the classic Bizarro.
