Review: Genesis of Super Villainess Harley Quinn - This work was done by Stjepan Sejic. To be honest, I can’t see if he was the writer or the artist. All I will say is that the writing and the wonderful artwork are in total harmony. Is it dark and sinister? Yes, very well done for the type of graphic presentation that I like. I was complaining about the comic book concerning three villainous sirens of Gotham City the other day. I was having a minor rant about it being to clean cut. A bit too fluffy bunny – sugar and spicey type of things. I went on to say that I like most of these stories to be dark and sinister. HARLEEN – the new graphic novel is all of this. I unpacked the item and thought to browse through it. As we do when getting such things. I found myself completely hooked straight away. The reader is shown a 30-year-old Doctor Harleen Quinzel. She is a clean cut and well-intentioned young lady. A psychiatrist/criminologist and probably other types of ologist all packed in. She has a revolutionary theory that may help the criminally insane. She gets a grant from the Wayne foundation. With enthusiasm, Doctor Quinzel sets off to Arkham Asylum where there is an abundance of super villains for her to psychoanalyse. We have an Agent Starling to Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs) setting. That is where the conversion is going to happen as the Joker completely turns the tables on our professional young enthusiastic doctor. I thought the graphic novel was an absolute peach. (I know I keep using that tired old platitude.) But for me, this new graphic novel is now one of my favourite stories. Alongside The Watchmen, and Arkham Asylum. This is a superb story. If you have not done this one yet, please do. We all know that this is a genesis of super villainess Harley Quinn. Review: The definitive treatment of Dr Harleen Quinzel - Far and away the most compelling exploration of Dr Harleen Quinzel ever committed to paper. I have enjoyed many other examples of Stjepan Sejic's work. And so I was overjoyed to see that he had turned his hand to an official treatment of Harley Quinn. The thorough delving into the psyche of Harleen is second to none. Rather than dismissing her as some author's do, or playing into her more psychotic of elements Stjepan shows us the slow insidious allure that Harleen feels for her patient as she is slowly pulled further and further along the path to transforming from Dr Harleen Quinzel to the infamous Harley Quinn. Sejic refuses to glamourise the mental illness of Quinzel or indeed of the manipulative efforts of The Joker unlike some other explorations of the character. This insitead shows a compelling and engaging slip of a perfectly rational woman into a killer who is manipulated by a very intelligent and masterful manipulator. The horror of her actions is not totally lost on Dr Quinzel either. She spends great lengths of times examining her actions and despairing for her future. But this isn't sombre and morose in a self-congratulatory way. It doesn't wallow but expands upon the deep psychology that lies behind the story we've seen play out so many times before. I genuinely feel this is perhaps one of the most definitive representations of the early days of the transformation of Dr Harleen Quizel and her complex relationship with the Joker. Also, the artwork is absolutely second to none. It is like looking at an oil painting. Simply sublime. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 28,403 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 456 in Super-Hero Graphic Novels | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (5,947) | | Dimensions | 22.5 x 1.7 x 28.3 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1779501110 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1779501110 | | Item weight | 924 g | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Harleen (2019-) | | Print length | 200 pages | | Publication date | 11 Feb. 2020 | | Publisher | DC Comics | ## Images ![Harleen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Qorve-PPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genesis of Super Villainess Harley Quinn *by R***T on 20 February 2025* This work was done by Stjepan Sejic.

Simply sublime. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Harley book I've ever read *by P***3 on 20 January 2024* I admit, I'm absolutely blown away by Stjepan Sejic's art since I saw his run in Rat Queens. The art is beautiful and Harleen's fall is a lot more believable from previous attempts. There is a running theme of madness and degrees of madness that permeate the everyday. The inclusion of Harvey Dent and the executioners helped create this unstoppable downward slide. Previous stories centre more on Joker and Batman but Batman is barely on the outskirts, only on stage once or twice. Joker is presented as a romantic monster and it makes you feel as if the narration is unreliable, like we're seeing him through her eyes. A couple of things stick out from the story; the first is the idea that Joker does actually love Harley, but what he considers 'love' is far more abusive and violent - so in his mind, he's not doing anything wrong (to be clear, he really, really is wrong), that's just what 'people in love' do. The second thing is that for the entirety of the book, everyone gets her name wrong, except Commissioner Gordon and Batman. Even Joker shortens it to Quinn. I'm rambling but this book is really good. Brilliant art, great storytelling. ## Frequently Bought Together - Harleen - Batman Three Jokers - Batman the Killing Joke: The Deluxe Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/159750515-harleen](https://www.desertcart.at/products/159750515-harleen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
