Described as a "masterfully drawn tapestry of the weird" (Denver Post), Piraro's comic strip offers a unique perspective on the world that reflects and refocuses reality like a funhouse mirror. Always unconventional, often surreal, Bizarro finds truth in fantasy.

Bizarro is awesome! It's hilarious antics make you want to roll out of your chair. This is a book I really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone who needs a good laugh. If you're in need of a good book, order this one, you'll be on the floor within the first 20 pages.

This review is from: Bizarro Number 9 (Paperback)
Dan Piraro's bizarre humor is close to that of Gary Larson, though a little less simplistic. And his drawings are more sophisticated, without being exagerratedly artistic.I've had the first volume of »Bizarro« for a decade or so, and it still provides me with uncontrollable laughs. This ninth volume is still very good, though it does not come up to the level of Piraro's earlier collections.

Loaded with hits and misses...,
By Takis Tz. (InYourHead) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bizarro Number 9 (Paperback)
This comic does bring to mind the great Gary Larson but only in certain moments. When Dan Piraro hits the target the result is nothing short of great, but it would be a sacrilege to compare him with Larson because what he lacks is consistency.
I came upon Piraro reading some very good reviews about him but after having read through "Bizarro Number 9" i wound up with mixed emotions. This by no means implies that i was dissapointed or that Piraro isnt a good humorist. He is. It's probably the Larson comparisons that threw my expectations way high, expectations that "Bizarro Number 9" didn't overall live up to. But comparisons aside, this is indeed a good read (some would associate a certain room of the house as appropriate for leafing through it..). Cool for a gift as well, and cool for fans of this genre of comics, recommended for those who seek intelligent humor.
