Harley Quinn, Comic Book Superstar
Tue May 2 10:21:58 2000

Yep, she's getting her own series. Will she be able to take flight all by her lonesome? Only time will tell. Anyway, here's some info about it from the Comics Continuum:

Writer Karl Kesel said that artist Terry Dodson is "doing some amazing, amazing work" on the upcoming Harley Quinn series from DC Comics.

"I'm riding his coattails to success," Kesel said. "This is book perfectly suited for Terry, who is one of the best good-girl artists out there. She's one of the best bad girls out there."

Mike Carlin, executive editor at DC, said that Harley Quinn is going to be "an unusual series."

"The tone of this is dealing with somebody who is not all there, and it enables Karl to go crazier than usual, which is great," Carlin said.

Said Kesel: "The problem with Harley Quinn is she's insane and you really can't fix that in her because you lose an essential part of the character. With most characters, if they have a problem, of the course of six months or a year, you fix it and give them a new problem. But this is a problem you can't fix with Harley. You have to deal with it in an ongoing way.

"We also had to find ways to transform from an animated character to a real-world character. Although Paul Dini had put a lot of that in place, there were still a lot of conflicts to deal with.

"And even beyond that, taking her from second banana to the Joker to a character who could actually support her own series. All of those were really interesting obstacles to overcome, and I think we've come up with some really unique solutions to it."
