Everyone gets older, even superheroes. Joining the old crowd – Old Man Logan and Old Man Hawkeye – we’re now getting Old Lady Harley, who will appear in Harley Quinn #42.
Yes even the avatar of youthful spunk Harley Quinn can become a cranky old lady. BUt she’ll do it with style.
Writer Frank Tieri shared a bunch of Mauricet’s art with us, and character sketches of Old Harley and her buddy Red Tool.
Is this a one off? Editor Chris Conroy tweeted that they could do more if its popular:
We're going a little insane on HARLEY QUINN #42 (my last regular-numbering issue as editor, sniffle). "Old Lady Harley" is gonna be ridiculous, and we hope you like it. (Cuz we wanna do more.) https://t.co/rdNJhZG3h8

And here’s the solicitation information.
HARLEY QUINN #42
Written by FRANK TIERI • Art by MAURICET • Cover by AMANDA CONNER •
“Old Lady Harley”! Harley’s grudgingly accepted the Gang of Harleys back into her life-and now they intend to impress her with all the new tricks they’ve learned in her absence! Unfortunately, they might’ve picked up some bad habits too…

The best old Hartley is in The Batman Beyond film when she shows up to post bond for her two grandkids and she’s Nana Hartley. This looks too much like a riff off Mad Max.
It’s an interesting concept for Harley, but what is with that outfit? She’s running around as what, a 50 year old in hot pants and a sports bra? You have to admit that’s a little absurd.
