Bibbo Bibbowski first appeared in The Adventures of Superman #428 (May 1987) and was created by Jerry Ordway and Marv Wolfman.

All three, however, get drunk on Okarran liquor and thus suffer loss of all memory of the battle, which Superman won by a ruse engineered by the Eradicator artifact.

Bibbo becomes a more significant part of the comic when he finds a winning lottery ticket dropped by Gangbuster and uses the money to buy the Ace o' Clubs bar and to help those living in the slum.

At first outraged at the man's crassness, Bibbo feels some sympathy for his losses and buys his entire inventory to get him off the street, then offers him a job at the Ace O' Clubs.

In The Power of Shazam!, Ordway introduces Professor Bibbowski, Bibbo's pacifist scientist brother.

He is established by then as having worked in the Ace of Clubs, even bringing himself to boldly menace Atom Smasher for "talking trash about Sooperman".

When Ultrawoman takes over Metropolis, Bibbo is seen trying to start a fight with her minions but is saved by Natasha Irons and Traci 13.

Bibbo also gets involved in related mayoral issues, namely that Perry's opponent is leading a xenophobic campaign.

[15] Bibbo Bibbowski appears in the DC Animated Movie Universe films The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen, voiced by Charles Halford.
