Harley Quinn - Breaking Glass

In 2020, DC's Urban Comics imprint published Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass, a standalone graphic novel by writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Steve Pugh.

Julien Di Giacomo also contributed to the writing, crafting a sharp, character-driven tale that explores identity, activism, and found family. It stands as a fresh, modern entry point for the character, grounding her chaos in a poignant coming-of-age narrative.
