Supergirl in the Multiverse: Earth-29

Earth-29, or Bizarro World or Htrae, is the home to bizarro versions of the Earth-0 residents. Bizarro world has not always been a separate universe and is instead usually depicted as a planet in the same universe as Earth-0 but far away in the depths of space. Bizarros are a fairly well known concept and the idea of an imperfect clone of Superman (and other heroes) is pretty easy to duplicate. As such, these Bizarro imitations of Superman have shown up in all kinds of non comic media in shows like Superboy, Smallville, and more recently Superman and Lois.

Bizarrogirl herself started appearing as early as Superman (Vol. 1) #140 and has since go on to appear in many forms. She showed up periodically in Peter David’s Supergirl run and was a feature character in the story written by Sterling Gates, Bizarrogirl. As well as her comic appearances, Bizarro Supergirl has shown up in outside comics media as well in shows like Supergirl and DC Superhero Girls. She has also shown up in comics out of main continuity in stories like Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade, and Tiny Titans. For my drawing this week I’ve chosen to base it on her appearance in the aforementioned Bizarrogirl story by Sterling Gates (I have recently posted a synopsis and breakdown of this story that you can read here).

As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. This drawing depicts Bizarrogirl facing away from the viewer with her hands on her hips and her cape billowing behind and above her. Her right boot is missing. Bizarrogirl is standing on an asteroid taking up most of the right side of the page. The background is a space scene that has a few other asteroids floating around and Htrae prominently shown. Htrae’s blue sun can be seen barely rising behind the planet. A motif of Bizarrogirl’s symbol with a 29 on it is in the top right corner.
