DC Finest: Harley Quinn: Birth of the Mirth

About the Book

Harley Quinn’s earliest comic book appearances are collected in a massive collection, showcasing the now-iconic antihero’s evolution!

  • DC Finest presents comprehensive collections of the most in-demand and celebrated periods in DC Comics history, spanning genres, characters, and eras! 
Harley Quinn was created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for the Batman: The Animated Series cartoon in the early 1990s, but her popularity among Batman fans soon led her to being introduced into comic books—which helped propel her to the worldwide multimedia stardom the character enjoys today. 

DC Finest: Harley Quinn: Birth of the Mirth collects Harley’s earliest comics adventures, including her very first comic book appearance in The Batman Adventures #12, the Batman: Harley Quinn one-shot that introduced the character into mainline DC Universe continuity, the Eisner Award-winning The Batman Adventures: Mad Love, and the first eight issues of her debut ongoing series.  

This volume collects Action Comics #765; Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #126; The Batman Adventures #12; Azrael: Agent of the Bat #60; Batman #570, #573-574; Batman: Shadow of the Bat #93; Detective Comics #737, #740-741; Catwoman #82-84, #89; The Batman Adventures: Mad Love #1; The Batgirl Adventures #1; Batman: Harley Quinn #1; Batman: Gotham Knights #14; Harley Quinn #1-8.
