Harley Quinn x Elvira #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHarley Quinn x Elvira #1 marks the first time these two pop-culture figures — one a DC Comics supervillain-turned-antihero and the other a horror-hosting character who had her own DC series back in 1986 — have ever shared a comic book. The crossover is also notable for reuniting Harley Quinn with the writers most responsible for her modern identity, giving the pairing an unusual degree of creative authenticity. Because both characters share a fourth-wall-breaking, comedic-chaos sensibility, the book offers a thematic argument for why inter-company crossovers work best when the characters' DNA is genuinely compatible rather than merely promotional. It also represents Elvira's formal return to a DC co-production nearly four decades after Elvira's House of Mystery, closing a long loop in her publishing history.

The crossover was announced in February 2025 as a joint venture between DC Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, and Queen 'B' Productions — Cassandra Peterson's own company — with Conner and Palmiotti confirmed as writers from day one, a pairing both publishers reportedly wanted immediately. According to Bleeding Cool, the project originated as a DC suggestion that Dynamite then developed, with Peterson personally approving the story. Originally solicited for August 2025, the release was pushed to October 2025, a move that placed it squarely in Halloween season — a more seasonally appropriate window for a Harley-and-Elvira story. Interior artist Juan Samu, already established as a go-to Elvira illustrator at Dynamite, was joined by Conner herself on selected story pages, giving the book a dual-artistic identity that echoed Conner's earlier Harley Quinn runs.
