Harley Quinn And Elvira To Team Up In New Comic From Jimmy Palmiotti And Amanda Conner

In a team-up so obvious it’s surprising it’s never happened before, Harley Quinn will team up with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, in a new crossover comic from the legendary team of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti.

Released in collaboration with Dynamite Entertainment, DC, and Queen “B” Productions the new book will be written by Conner and Palmiotti, a team heavily associated with Harley Quinn after their run for DC Comics from 2013 to 2018.

“What do you get when you slam a Maid of Mischief and a Mistress of the Dark together?” said Conner via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Sheer chaos, escapades and fun! Holee pandemolee, who WOULDN’T wanna see the Vivacious Elvira and the Hijinky Harley Quinn get together for a bunch of wisecracking and clowning around? And a bit of naughtiness. Okay. Maybe a lot. I can’t wait to work on this book!”

Added Palmiotti, “We are super excited to not only revisit our lovely Harley Quinn and her gang in Coney Island, but it seems like a match made in heaven… or hell, having the ever stunning Elvira, Mistress of the Dark along for the ride in this team-up to end all team-ups. We are talking ICONS here! This is one of those circumstances where the characters have so much in common that the books almost write themselves. The trouble these two are going to be getting in will be epic!”

While there aren’t any further details about the project at this time, Elvira herself, aka Cassandra Peterson, is pretty stoked to be Harley’s new puddin’.

“Recently I’ve gotten the chance to have my Elvira character crossover with some other icons of horror and even personal friends of mine, like H.P. Lovecraft and Vincent Price,” said Peterson. “My fiendish fans may recall that my entry to comics was with DC, and it’s exciting to be working with them again, and with one of their most revered characters. There are few who can match my charisma and appeal, but Harley is up there!”
