    Bizarro box

    From the "I can't believe no one has asked for it before" department. For Bizarro, I had wanted to have the color background be the invert of yellow (Superman's color), which is blue. But I never liked how it looked so i went back to yellow to drive home he is in the Superman dysfunctional family. I also considered messing up the box form (putting the WGSH logo up top and Bizarro title on bottom) or do something else to make for the opposite flavor but I could not imagine Mego doing that had they made a Bizarro in the 70's.

    mego most likely would have followed with what they did with Mxyptlk's box,
    ie. "Superman's Arch Enemy" tag at the top

    other than that looks great...

          Beautiful box, Mike!

          Hey-- how do you keep the toner from cracking at the fold lines?

                That's really Amazing design work! Perfect job. I like the idea of blue/purple as complimentary colors to yellow, but your design in yellow is my favorite!!!!

                      Could you provide a little more detail? I use a bone folder to create the crease line on the opposite side-- do you do something different?
