Trivia

 * First and only appearance of Bizarro Superboy. He is not to be confused with Bizarro No. 1, an adult Bizarro who plagues Superman in Action Comics #254. The two Bizarros are actually separate characters, as opposed to an older version of a single character. Although Bizarro No. 1 is more well-known to the general public, Bizarro Superboy predates Bizarro's first appearance by nearly a year.


 * The story of the first Bizarro is re-imagined in John Byrne's, Man of Steel #5. In Man of Steel, Lucy Lane becomes the blind object of Bizarro's affections.

Reprints

 * This issue is reprinted in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #15 and Superman (Volume 1) Annual #2.
