“Joker's Favor” (24 pages), written by Paul Dini and illustrated by Bruce Timm — Harley Quinn makes her comics debut as the Joker's devoted psychiatrist-turned-accomplice. The story follows Charlie Collins, an ordinary citizen who becomes entangled with the Joker and finds himself forced into an unwitting alliance. When the Joker calls in his favor years later, Charlie must navigate the deadly dynamics between the Clown Prince of Crime and his unpredictable new partner. Timm's animated series design work translates perfectly to the page, establishing the visual template for Harley that would define the character across all media.
The comic debut that turned a one-off animated character into a cornerstone of the DC Universe — Harley Quinn's transformation from throwaway henchwoman to A-list character starts here.
Condition [GRADE PLACEHOLDER] with light corner wear on all four corners, minor spine stress lines, and slight edge wear along spine, complete interior, structurally sound, and unrestored.
We use AI to research and write our descriptions — we think Klaatu would approve of this miniscule relinquishment of power to the robots. Details are verified where possible but comics are complicated and we're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If something looks off, just ask.
