*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, cracked the big time of movie success and is now regarded as one of the big-earning ‘pillars’ of the DCU, alongside Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. Whilst high grade copies of this gem are not rare, this is one of the nicest we’ve ever seen. In virtually every respect, this is as nice as new (nicer even than some new comics you see on the racks). Flat, tight, glossy, vibrant, white pages, firm staples, sharp corners etc. There are just the tiniest signs of a couple of stress marks at the spine (no hint of a colour break), but you have to look really hard to see them. We debated long and hard on the grade to award this, and settled on a very conservative VF/NM.
