Set Description:
The animation series books!!! Coming out of Crazy Town, the Toon that made its way into the hearts of people like Kevin Smith, who named his daughter Harley Quinn Smith! The series captivated children's hearts and desires, for the morals, fisticuffs, and the unsolved mysteries that took a Batman kind of Detective! Giving closure, the cartoons carry on in these issues, with new stories and fun to behold. Many a character to infiltrate the mind of the reader, with that childish charm that is not immature at all.
Sure to capture the heart comes the Adventures of the Batman, in the Animated Series, with Bruce Timm art that blew our simple minds! It still holds up today.
Those are the playthings that pouted onscreen within the early 90's without a whim or fancy, save the kids after school specials. Those were times of parents with children and seeing their lighted faces when the Batman intro started. All the time awaiting the justice therein with the many guests stars the plighted and plotted that we didn't want commercials. A real treasure when found on VHS and on to DVD! A bit expensive, then along came streaming, the Lord be praised! Complete with semi modern mentions on television series, and those greats such as Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy R.I.P. After those afternoon scenarios and we had lived each day to see evil vanquished it wasn't so hard to wait month by month for comics, comics, comics!

Newsstand! 9.0! An upgrade! 1st appearance Harley Quinn ever, bought from a trusted seller like Dave and Adam's, for under $200, which is a full $350 cheaper than any other copy I've owned. It is also the highest grade I've owned too! Featuring the 1st ever but out of DC continuity appearance of Harley Quinn! With movies and new shows featuring this character, voiced and portrayed by Fem Fatales, such as the quality of Margot and Kaley! A diamond in the rough, I'd say! Harley is the key to Jokers past at this moment in time. It was the 90's, and crazy doesn't begin to describe the love of a clown! Somehow, looking like a groupie meant a great deal in this era, some called it love. Quirky and bubbly, Harley Quinn won the hearts of many, in cartoons and media on down the line. Harley was a perfect storm, by 2022 the DC universe team is struggling to hang on to good writers for the movies. Not much has tarnished the reputation of this fem fatale in her own right.
Complete with a back cover picture of the Harley Quinn tumbler, which is a glass with an imprint that I picked up circa 2016 at one of the 1st Comic-Cons to which I ever went. Some were big purchases but kind of picked up some tinker objects as well to get a feel of the venue. Try carrying that in a backpack, ha-ha, I'm glad they are made of thicker glass, and yet venues need to think of these kinds of things when making products!
Graders Notes:
light spine stress lines breaks color;
very small crease top of front cover.

A tough black cover. I bought this at Keith's Comics in Dallas. They said that it was a 7.0, and I should have listened. I felt it would grade higher, so I bought it and had it slabbed! It was still read first, and I enjoyed it, an almost classic! I know that these two may or may not be perfect for each other, but in an instance or at the time, it worked. Not unlike someone I knew way back when, who would laugh at my attempts at humor too. We all need support and a good laugh sometimes! It is amazing that even my other copy of this has, "fingerprints that break color!" There must have been a production flaw that made color lift easy; although it is mostly a black cover, otherwise maybe the paper or ink quality? I don't know. Sometimes the kids' comics, which I assume since it is based on the cartoon, were made cheaper to lower production cost. It is hard to think that not "all comics" are "made for kids!" Understandably so sometimes.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass for the movie before released publicly of, "Smile: 2!" A 2nd in a series that turns over for a smile before the grave, and much like the Joker left his victims throughout the Batman lore and history. Leaving them in stitches is meant to be a laugh for him, but the grin is harder to bear for the sake of the criminal insanity of the Joker. Were all these people who lived to die laughing truly driven mad before their own demise? It is a horror known only to be lived through by said Joker every single day, and for him it is always the "last laugh!"
