Harley Quinn x Elvira #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHarley Quinn x Elvira #4 sits at the midpoint of the first-ever co-published crossover between DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment to pair these two characters, marking a rare instance of a licensed horror-entertainment figure (Elvira, owned by Cassandra Peterson's Queen 'B' Productions) sharing a shared-universe adventure with a mainline DC superhero. The issue deepens the creative experiment by relocating the duo from Brooklyn to Transylvania, expanding the series' comedic-horror register and demonstrating that the Conner–Palmiotti voice — honed across years of Harley Quinn solo stories — can stretch into fully Gothic, cross-publisher territory. It also represents a tangible link between Elvira's earliest DC incarnation (Elvira's House of Mystery, 1985–1987) and her modern Dynamite era, with DC itself reportedly suggesting the collaboration, effectively closing a forty-year loop in the character's publishing history.

DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment jointly announced the series in February 2025, with the project championed by all three rights-holders — DC, Dynamite, and Peterson's Queen 'B' Productions — and with Cassandra Peterson publicly endorsing the creative team. Both publishers specifically requested Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti from the outset, the same duo whose Harley Quinn run at DC (2013–2018) is widely credited with redefining the character's solo-series voice and expanding her fanbase. Conner pulls double creative duty on every issue: she writes alongside Palmiotti and contributes both cover art and selected interior story pages alongside primary series artist Juan Samu (a longtime Elvira collaborator), with colors by Walter Pereyra — an unusual arrangement that ensures visual coherence across the dual-creator pages.
