The Traders are back in full force for an episode spotlighting a popular character in an overlooked spin-off project. It’s another DC outing with the Harley Quinn team-up anthology HARLEY’S LITTLE BLACK BOOK by Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, and a bevy of artistic talents! We take a deep dive into Harley’s creation and various origins, going from a minor player in animation, to fan-favorite, then breakout star of her own ongoing monthly title, and eventual revitalization under the New 52. What’s the lasting appeal of this madcap anti-hero and where does this curious oversized 6-issue high concept book find her circa 2016? Can Harley hold her own opposite the likes of Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Zatanna, and Superman? More importantly, does a series so shamelessly self-aware even lend itself to scrutiny and critical analysis? We’ll take a crack at these questions and much more in this clownish comics chronicle.
