American Update: Dr. Quinn, Mad Woman! Harley Quinn’s first comic-book appearance 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 solo movie is in the works, so time to grab this landmark before the prices rise higher! Our copy of Batman Adventures #12 is FN p at £175. Generally sound, only minor spine wear prevents a higher grade. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
