American Update: Batmania/DC Debuts: 1st Harley Quinn in Batman Adventures #12
*DC: Introduced as a last-minute afterthought in the Batman Animated TV Show, a curvaceous minion of the Joker brainstormed to do a task thought inappropriate for ‘Mr. J’ himself, Harley Quinn caught on like wildfire, and after several reappearances in the show, crossed over into the comic books with Batman Adventures #12 in 1993. Since then, of course, she’s transferred from the DC Comics Animated Universe to the main DCU, had her own series and several spin-offs, and is now regarded as one of the big-earning ‘pillars’ of the DCU, alongside Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Margot Robbie’s performance as Harley in the ‘Suicide Squad’ movie was widely acknowledged as the only bright spot in that stinker of a film, and a Harley co-starring role is in the follow up ‘Birds of Prey’ movie from earlier this year, so now is the time to grab this hugely sought-after issue! This high grade copy has a few tiny stress marks at the spine, but is otherwise tight and flat, with sharp corners and great cover colour and gloss.
