DC Finest: Harley Quinn: The Birth of the Mirth #[nn]
"Batgirl: Day One" kicks off with a high-octane breakout as Harley Quinn orchestrates a wild escape for her hyenas from the zoo, setting off a chain of chaos that unfolds through the sharp, self-aware narration of Lester—a man who’s convinced he’s the Joker’s long-lost doppelgänger, despite never having committed a crime in his life. Written by Karl Kesel and illustrated by Terry Dodson with inks by Rachel Dodson and colors by Sinclair, this standout issue captures the anarchic energy of Gotham’s underbelly, all framed by Bruce Timm’s iconic cover art.

Harley gathers a gang and breaks her hyenas out of the pokey (um, the zoo for those who don't watch Discovery Channel). The story is narrated by Lester, a criminal mastermind (albeit one who has never actually participated in any crimes) who thinks (and he is the only one who thinks this) he is a dead ringer for the Joker.
