A fan favorite from the very beginning, Harley Quinn is a relative newcomer to the DC Universe, but one of today’s most interesting characters.
What’s on this Harley Quinn Reading Order?
Harley Quinn was first introduced as one of Joker’s minions in Batman: The Animated Series. She wasn’t meant to be more than a throwaway character. However, she quickly grew in popularity and became a regular part of the show. Eventually, she made her way into comics and began a popular favorite. Most recently she was portrayed by Margot Robbie in the film Suicide Squad. That’s a long way to come from the beginning as just a throwaway character on an animated show.
This timeline attempts to assemble all of the major comic stories with Harley Quinn and place them in chronological order. While it might not contain every single story with the character, it does look at the primary comics.
Where to Start?
You can start anywhere you like on this timeline. You can start with the classic stuff, or move on to the more recent comics. When you see the Volumes begin to start over with number 1, that’s often a good place to start.
