1st Roxy Rocket. When I subbed this through the Local Comic Shop way back when, the owner asked, "why?" I thought it was just a classic cover representation of Batman the Animated Series. It doesn't hurt that Titan Comics (the local comic shop) had it graded at VF+ and it came back 9.6! Roxy Rocket is trying to make it in the underworld, and survive? The testament of knowing the wrong crowd. Those crowds are getting larger standing in the Harley Quinn and Batman silhouette! Wasn't that the case with the Batman Animated Series Intro? A bunch of in the shadows, and not to be out done theatrics of animation! Good times indeed. The Joker cackle, the Al Ghul rebirths, and of course Quinn's subtle rehabilitation. It all came together like a fine wine. Still an acquired taste and probably best meant for moderation as well, but enjoyable to say the least!
Complete with a Jae Lee statue of Batman signed by him, and an Alex Ross Harley, their silhouettes of course! Bought both at Keith's Comics for cheapish, back in 2017, and some of the first statues I did buy. The classic hat of Harley is featured on the cover for the comic and grace's the statue. They are perfect to display with each other. I believe that the Bats statue, which is signed on the side of the base by the artist, is the real winner. It's even similar to the Batman on the cover of the Adventures Annual!

She's hot stuff, if you're into that! A story of coming together. Batman the Animated Series was a big part of my childhood, and this does its justice. She reminds me of a girlfriend I had in Junior High at a private school, quite the rebels we were. Blonde and Silly! Good Times! I believe this is the animation series version of the relation to the Joker by Harley Quinn, in how the two first bonded! Still, it's crazy clown love as far as the eye can see. Sometimes circumstances and other walls we mentally put up around us when we interact, causes us to react different than someone who is more cultured. Harley is a psychologist or some such, which tries to paint the picture that she is "educated", and that these things happen to anyone. The reality is more that the Joker is just that prolific a character, and he has been for years. The fact that Harley eventually comes to that realization in her own right and makes a transition, is truly educated, as today she is thought of as a heroine.
In short, too good a back cover picture to replace with something else! Looks good all on its own.
