Batman Adventures #3

Harley Quinn throws her arms around a clearly uneasy Joker on this charming cover by Bruce Timm, hearts and a bouquet of flowers swirling around the pair as she goes in for a kiss. The animated-style artwork perfectly captures Harley's lovesick devotion set against the Joker's grimacing reluctance, all wrapped in a Valentine's palette that makes the dysfunction feel oddly delightful. With Dan Slott writing and Ty Templeton on interiors, this 2003 issue of Batman Adventures promises a story as fun and twisted as the cover suggests.
