Harlequin

A legacy character operating in the space where Golden Age DC history meets modern continuity, this Harlequin debuted alongside the next-generation heroes of Infinity, Inc., a team composed largely of the children and successors of the Justice Society of America.

Stepping out of the Bronze Age DC universe with a debut in Infinity, Inc. #9 (1984), Harlequin was brought to life by the creative powerhouse trio of Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and Jerry Ordway — the same team shaping some of DC's most ambitious legacy storytelling of the era. Over a publishing span stretching nearly three decades to 2011, this character carved out a niche in the corners of the DC universe where Golden Age legend meets modern continuity, sharing pages with luminaries like Green Lantern, Alan Scott, Hawkman, and even Superman. Most at home in the pages of Infinity, Inc. and Green Lantern Corps Quarterly, and notable enough to earn an entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Harlequin is exactly the kind of richly layered DC figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig a little deeper.
