Mr. Zed

Mysterious enough to earn a name like Mr. Zed, this Modern Age DC creation stepped onto the scene in 2001, conjured by the imaginative team of Karl Kesel and Terry Dodson in the pages of Harley Quinn #2. He inhabits a wonderfully chaotic corner of the DC Universe, sharing pages with the likes of Penguin and Pamela Isley, which tells you something about the colorful, dangerous world he moves through. His appearances are few but choice — preserved in celebrated collections like the Deluxe Edition of Kesel and Dodson's beloved run — making him a rewarding discovery for dedicated fans digging deep into Harley Quinn's rich early history.
