Harley's first year ends with a bang in this extra-sized issue. It's games-within-games as Bo and Surley try to capture Harley; Bo and Carrie try to hook up (at last); Nix unleashes his plan against Harley; Buster's true colors are shown; Jack Happi meets his destiny (and it hurts); allegiances shift; and Batman strikes. And a familiar guest-star returns, setting in motion Harley Quinn's second year.

Volume Description

A series that followed the comedic adventures of Harley Quinn. Ran for 4 years.

While Harley Quinn had appeared in comics before - most notably in 1994's Mad Love graphic novel - she finally got her own regular title 8 years after her debut in TV's Batman: The Animated Series. Written by Karl Kesel and drawn by Terry Dodson, the double sized first issue dealt with Harley's twisted relationship with the Joker, as she disguised herself as Poison Ivy to help break him out of Arkham Asylum. After nursing the Joker back to health, Harley tried to impress him by sabotaging a fairground based on heroes and villains only to be nearly killed by the Joker in the process. By the end of the story, Harley had stopped the Joker's plans and was beginning to question her love for the Clown Prince of Crime.
