DC is releasing a new take on Harley Quinn's origin story in the upcoming The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley young adult graphic novel.
Announced as part of DC's young adult line, The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley comes from writer Melissa Marr (Wicked Lovely) and artist Jenn St-Onge (Bingo Love).
The synopsis for The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley reads, "When Harleen signs up to participate in a clinical research trial with her girlfriend, Pamela, the most she can hope for is extra cash in her wallet and a chance to get her anxiety under control. But what she gets instead are increasingly larger gaps in her memory and stolen mementos from some guy named Jack she’s never met. Soon, Harleen discovers she’s sharing her life with Harley—a take-no-prisoners, who-cares-about attendance, maybe-we-oughtta-save-the-bunnies kind of girl. She is the opposite of Harleen in many ways. She is anarchy in a cute dress. And in this Jekyll and Hyde story, Harleen discovers that maybe evil ain’t so bad—as long as she doesn’t get caught."
