Paul Dini/Adam Hughes Harley Quinn B&W Stories Only In New Collection

Last year, DC Comics published the digital comic book series Harley Quinn Black + White + Red, later published as print comic books. Creators including Harleen writer and artist Stjepan Šejić, Mirka Andolfo, Erica Henderson, Jordie Bellaire, plus longstanding Harley creators like Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Chad Hardin and Sam Humphries all contributed short stories in black and white accompanied by splashes of red.

They were not published digitally with the others or serialised in print, if you bought those comics and now want these two new ones, you have to buy all the old ones again.

To have a complete story, so that I can page through the art the way you get to page through the comic—that's pretty cool." So basically David Mandel paid for the privilege to write a Harley Quinn story…
