"Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter" is a comic book story by Kyle Baker, co-written with Liz Glass.
Publication history
[edit]The story originally appeared in DC Comics' parallel universe anthology Elseworlds 80-Page Giant #1 (June 1999). Baker drew, colored, lettered and, with Elizabeth Glass, wrote the 10-page story. In the story, the super-toddler climbs into a microwave oven. As a result, most copies were recalled and pulped. DC destroyed all copies of the issue intended for the North American market, though copies were still distributed in Europe.[1]
Collected editions
[edit]In May 2001, the story was reprinted in the Bizarro Comics hardcover (ISBN 1-56389-779-2). A softcover edition of Bizarro Comics (ISBN 1-56389-958-2) followed in April 2003.
Awards
[edit]2000 Eisner Award, Best Short Story: "Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter" by Kyle Baker in Elseworlds 80-Page Giant
Also that year, Baker won the Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist: Humor based on both "Letitia Lerner, Superman's Babysitter" and the DC Comics/Vertigo graphic novel I Die at Midnight.
