Bizarro Heroes collects these smart, funny send-ups of all your favorite comic heroes in one incredible volume. Bizarro was first syndicated in 1985 and since then has built a steady and loyal following in the United States and Canada, as well as parts of Europe, Asia and South America.

A photo-packed memoir by the Ramones guitarist and “true iconoclast” (Publishers Weekly). Raised in Queens, New York, Johnny Ramone founded one of the most influential rock bands of all time, but he never strayed from his blue-collar roots and attitude. He was truly imbued with the angry-young-man spirit that would characterize his persona both on and off stage. Through it all, Johnny kept the band focused and moving forward, ultimately securing their place in music history by inventing punk rock. The Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002—and two years later, Johnny died of cancer, having outlived two other founding members. Revealing, inspiring, and told on his own terms, this memoir also features Johnny’s assessment of the Ramones’ albums; a number of eccentric Top Ten lists; rare historical artifacts; and scores of personal and professional photos, many of which have never before been published. “Feels like a conversation with Johnny.” —The Boston Globe

What do you want out of bizarro fiction? Go ahead. Think about it for a minute. Not an easy question, is it? Actually, it's not even a fair question. The question itself goes against the nature of bizarro. Bizarro fiction is built on its unwillingness to be pigeonholed, its defiance of genre. So what do you want out of bizarro? Everything. You want everything, and you want it in surprising, unprecedented combinations. You don't just want these stories to raise your eyebrows, you want them to blast your eyebrows into fucking orbit. You want creepy comedy that destroys the concepts of death and birth? Andrew Wayne Adams has you covered. Unrepentant B-movie madness? Check with G. Arthur Brown. Quiet, sexy, Midwestern road trip weirdness? Look no further than Justin Grimbol. Next level celebrity obsession? Airika Sneve is here for you. Seriously, it's all in these pages. What more are you looking for? Oh, maybe lovelorn dismemberment, sword-slinging abscess creatures, surreal takes on the whole "was it all a dream?" motif, goo-spewing art anuses, witches fighting Jehovah's Witness robots, cyberpunk mind-transferring love pentangles, motivational bigfoots fighting space pigs? You want everything. You got it. Right in your hands. Dig in.
