From the back of the book- Dr. Harleen Quinzel has a theory: mental illness is a survival mechanism. As she seeks to help the broken souls of Gotham City piece together their sanity she will become the one thing she fears the most: one of them. A bold new retelling of the tragic origin of Harley Quinn told through the eyes of the only person who knows her better than anyone: Harleen.
A young psychiatrist with a potential cure for the madness that haunts Gotham City, Dr. Harleen Quinzel must prove her revolutionary theory to a skeptical establishment by delving into the disturbed minds of Arkham Asylum's deadliest inmates. But the more time she spends with her criminally insane subjects, the closer she is drawn to one patient in particular--and the further she falls away from reality. The birth of legendary antihero Harley Quinn and the shocking origins of her twisted romance with the Joker are revealed in Harleen, a stunning new tale of love and obsession written and illustrated by renowned comics storyteller Stjepan Sejic.
Review- This is a great re-imagining of Harley's origins. Harley is trying to understand why some people become killers and others don't. But as she gets closer to her study subjects, she begins to slip herself. Joker is there to help her understand the criminal mind, of course. While the story is good, the art is incredible, just gorgeous. If you are a fan of Harley, then you should check out this graphic novel. But if you are a fan of incredible art, you need to check out this graphic novel and meet Stjepan Šejić, his art is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I would love for him to write more with Harley and maybe with Ivy too.
I give this graphic novel a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this graphic novel from my local library.
