Harley Quinn artwork has been burning up the aftermarket for years now, and cover artists have had a field day with her. So many great covers and pieces of art are out there, but the special ones always will command a higher dollar amount. Up for auction right now over at Heritage, part of Dallas Lot #7234, is one such cover. Artist Jill Thompson created this variant for Harley Quinn #27 back in 2017, and not only showcased Harley in an iconic way, but her beach blanket also pays tribute to Batman #23 from 1944, with the story 'Damsel in Distress". It, of course, starred The Joker. This wonderful Thompson cover is currently sitting at only $360, with a little under 24 hours to bid. Check it out below.
