American Update: Harleen Frances Quinzel, M.D!
*DC: Another modern title we’re making an exception for this week as we continue our catalogue expansion programme. From the Batman Adventures TV show to the pages of the DC Comics Universe, Harley Quinn, the Joker’s former inamorata, broke loose of “Mr. J.” and set off on her own solo series in 2000, under the skilled hands of writer Karl Kesel and artists Terry and Rachel Dodson. The gleeful combination of comedy, cheesecake and wanton mayhem enchanted readers, and we have most of the first 19 issues – all Dodson-illustrated – now in stock, nearly all high grade, with many achieving the unusual NM/M condition. Issue #1 is NM at £45. Harley’s chums Catwoman and Poison Ivy were frequent guest-stars, and even Batgirl makes a special surprise appearance – or does she? So join Harley and the Gotham Girls as they seek out romance, adventure, and exploding rubber chickens, in one of the most fondly-remembered series of this millennium so far!
