The definitive story of Harley Quinn by her co-creator, Paul Dini, and
Pat Cadigan, revealing the secrets of her history even as she seeks to
kill Batman.
When she was only seven years old, Harleen Quinzel witnessed her father
being beaten up by thugs, and then arrested by the police. That night
she ran away to the safest place she could think of: Coney Island
amusement park. But there, pursued into the Funhouse by the men who
brutalised her father, she beheld unimaginable horrors.
Years later, Harleen has put her past behind her, and used her
intelligence and ambition to escape her childhood of poverty with a
career in psychiatry. Assigned to her first position at Arkham Hospital,
she will discover, deep in the asylum, something dangerous and alluring,
something quite unlike anything else she has ever known before: The
Joker. Because why would you settle for love, when you could have MAD
LOVE?
From the moment that Harleen finds a rose on her desk, to the moment she
dons her harlequin hat, this is the definitive story that chronicles the
obsession, the burning desire, the manic laughter, and the birth of one
of the most controversial and popular comic book supervillains ever
created: Harley Quinn.
