Weird Al Yankovic is no stranger to comics, having edited an issue of MAD Magazine, appeared on various covers at DC and even had his songs turned into comics over at Z2. But now he’s going one step further by teaming up with Batman and Superman in Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1.
The 40-page one-shot from writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Schoening, with “vibes” by “Weird Al” Yankovic himself, arrives in September. Naturally, it features Mr. Mxyzptlk.
The story finds the fifth dimension under attack by a force that drains everything of color and strangeness. When the same plague hits Earth, Mr. Mxyzptlk realizes that Batman and Superman alone won’t cut it. There’s only one man for the job — one man who likes hardware stores a whole lot.
Variant covers are by Mark Spears, Riley Rossmo, Jerry Gaylord and Schoening:
