Dynamite is rolling out its ComicsPRO news and the first one is a doozy: The Amanda Conner/Jimmy Palmiotti run on Harley Quinn is justly famed for giving Harley one of her sassiest takes ever. Now they are returning to Harley and teaming her up with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark for Dynamite. A very long press release accompanied this news, but…it sells itself doesn’t it? I couldn’t think of a better team-up all around. I mean just look at that teaser image!
The project is in its very early stages, but Conner and Palmiotti will be writing the story, which features Elvira, the character embodied by Cassandra Peterson as the queen of all things ghoulish.
“What do you get when you slam a Maid of Mischief and a Mistress of the Dark together?” asked Amanda Conner. “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!”
Jimmy Palmiotti added, “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!”
“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,” shared Cassandra Peterson, the voice and visage behind the Mistress of the Dark. “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!”
Dynamite CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci added, “This is such a great story, we had to bring the best creators on board for this historic team-up and crossover. Amanda and Jimmy are some of my closest friends in this industry, and we’ve loved working with them at Dynamite. Their work with Harley is so beloved as well, so it’s just a perfect project all around. We’re excited to share more with fans as it comes together.”
