Harley Quinn #23

Harley Quinn #23 was published by DC Comics in 2017 as part of the Rebirth initiative, a major line-wide relaunch designed to restore the core identities of DC's iconic characters. The issue belongs to the third volume of the Harley Quinn solo series, which leaned heavily into the character's signature blend of dark humor, chaotic violence, and breaking the fourth wall. This period of the character's history solidified her transition from a villainous henchwoman to a complicated anti-heroine navigating life in Coney Island.

The issue features artwork primarily by John Timms, whose vibrant and dynamic style became a staple of this run. Written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, the narrative continues the duo's long-standing effort to frame Harley as a multifaceted protagonist rather than just a sidekick. At the time of its release, the series was well-regarded for its visual consistency and its ability to maintain a lighthearted, frenetic tone while grounding Harley in a distinct social circle of supporting characters.
