*DC: The Joker’s former lover, Harley Quinn, became the breakout DC character of the late 20th Century, in large part owing to this exquisite one-shot, written by her creator Paul Dini and illustrated by Bruce Timm. Harley’s second comic-book appearance, following her debut in Batman Adventures #12, Mad Love was a huge hit, defining the Harley/Joker relationship, establishing her origin and backstory for myriad subsequent appearances, (including the recent ‘Birds of Prey’ film) and consolidating her stardom. It’s also a cracking read, even for those of us who think Harl’s become a bit overplayed in later years. We have the first and second printings in stock; the first printing, released as a ‘thick comic’, is VF-, having entirely avoided the spine ticks and splits that the fragile cover stock tends to acquire over time; the second printing, in sturdier squarebound Prestige Format, is NM.
