    • There's often a bit of back and forth about what counts as a 'first appearance' with comics characters, but this one is pretty cut and dry. This scene, which appears at around the 7:30 mark, is the actual real-deal first appearance of Harley Quinn hitting the airwaves a full year before Batman Adventures #12 hit stands! Created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini and intended as a one-off character never to be seen again, her striking design and the performance by Arleen Sorkin (on whom the character was based!) made Harley a fan favorite who quickly became an icon in comics, tv, and film. One of the standout episodes of the series, 'Joker's Favor' follows an ordinary man who in a bout of road rage accidentally catches the attention of the Joker and ends up owing him a favor.

      Includes a certificate of authenticity from Clampett Studio Collections. Cel and production art are both labelled IFA 4760. Hand colored animation cel attached to high quality reproduction background with tape with the full piece measuring 14" x 11". Production art is pencil on animation paper with Warner Brothers Animation seal affixed and measures 12 1/2" x 10 1/2".
