Bizarro -- but not TOO bizarre

Surprised that DC Comics would allow indy creators to give its characters the Bizarro World treatment, the Kansas City Star wonders whether the publisher set any limits.

The answer, according to Dan DiDio and Evan Dorkin, is yes. The heroes couldn't be denigrated, and mentions of liquor and the word "pervert" weren't permitted.

A spokesman for the Dibny Estate couldn't be reached at press time.
