Dynamite Entertainment, DC, and Queen “B” Productions announced details of the anticipated crossover of this year, Harley Quinn and Elvira Mistress of the Dark in Harley Quinn X Elvira #1 this August. Fans are not only getting two of the biggest icons in pop culture in this crossover, we are getting the comic book power couple of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti as the creative team. Conner and Palmiotti are known for their foundational 2010s Harley run and this new book will feature the beloved Brooklyn backdrop and some fan-favorite characters from their hallowed DC Harley Quinn adventures.
From the solicit:
As the scintillating story begins, readers will meet a bored Harley Quinn — this is very bad news for everyone else! While Elvira is faced with an uncertain future as her TV show is under siege by suits and corporate cuts. When these two peerless pariahs cross paths, what follows will be the most ridiculous Halloween party ever seen — and never wanted!
“I’ve been fortunate to have experienced a lot of cr*zy parties, both as attendee and host, with guest lists that would make your eyeballs pop out. And recently, in comics, I’ve crossed paths with many unexpected characters, but this is one of my most exciting yet!,” said Cassandra Peterson, the voice and visage behind the Mistress of the Dark. “The party invite is open to all my fans, and Harley’s too!”
“What I remember about first discovering Elvira is wanting to be like her,” said Amanda Conner. “She’s got that sense of humor, that love of horror and comedy, and that hair and boobs and gorgeousness, all dialed up to eleven. I think she was (and still is) a great role model for all us weird girls.”
Jimmy Palmiotti added, “When we were offered this crossover with Elvira, it was the easiest thing in the world to make it work for us. Die hard fans of our work will feel like we never left Harley, while at the same time, we can take her on a new adventure with her new friend Elvira. This series is so much fun.”
Harley Quinn X Elvira #1 will have two covers by Amanda Conner for each issue and special interior pages in this six issue event. She’s joined by fellow cover artist Joseph Michael Linsner, Chad Hardin and Ben Caldwell and one of comics’ most scorching hot rising stars in Mark Spears, known for his hit Mark Spears’ Monsters series.
HARLEY QUINN X ELVIRA #1 is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ June 2025 Previews catalog.
