Paul Dini Celebrates Harley’s 25th Anniversary With A Book Signing On Batman Day

Commemorating her 25th Anniversary in her typical fashion, Harley Quinn is stealing the spotlight at DC’s annual Batman Day celebration with help from her co-creator, five-time Emmy Award and Eisner Award winner, Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series, Dark Night: A True Batman Story).  On September 23 at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, Harley Quinn co-creator Paul Dini will be greeting fans and signing copies of HARLEY QUINN: A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS, as well as participating in a Q&A.  Below, you can find the official cover art, book synopsis, and further details on the signing.

From her animated adventures to her bloody stint in the Suicide Squad, HARLEY QUINN: A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS captures the greatest comic book moments of the Joker’s main moll, brought to life by industry legends Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, Jim Lee, Jeph Loeb, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Karl Kesel, Terry Dodson and more!
 
The true embodiment of the phrase “madly in love,” Harley Quinn may be stark, raving, cuckoo-pants crazy, but she is a woman who stands by her man. Filled with an inexplicable devotion to Batman’s nemesis, the Joker, she’s the Clown Prince of Crime’s most loyal companion. 
 
But while her monstrous “Mistah J” may have led her to a life of crime, he also brought her comic book superstardom! It’s been 25 years since she made her debut, but Harley Quinn’s popularity continues to grow, spreading from animation to comic books to video games to live-action feature films, with no sign of slowing down.
