Batman Adventures: Mad Love Deluxe Edition HC

This hardback deluxe edition of 'Mad Love' is fantastic. It's from the creative team behind 'Batman: The Animated Series' (B:TAS) from the 1990's - namely artist Bruce Timm and writer Paul Dini. And it uses the animation style and continuity from that show. As a tie-in to B:TAS, there was a comic book series entitled 'The Batman Adventures' - and 'Mad Love' forms part of that storyline. This is about the origin of Harley Quinn, a character created by these individuals (a character that became so popular as to become a regular fixture in DC Comics). It's a story about Joker vs Batman ... and, where the Joker fails, Harley nearly succeeds! The backstory of this tragic (yet beautiful) character is thoroughly entertaining. The story of this graphic novel was adapted into an episode of the animated series. Great artwork; great story. This edition comes with notes and draft material - as well as an introduction. For me, this was the BEST of the Batman comics to be issued in the 1990's.

Perfect I can finally figure out how Dr. Harleen Quinzel became my sexy puddin' I recommend it to any Harley Quinn fan its absolutely perfect for an origin story

funny and a great start for those interested in Harley Quinn. The ending fight between batman and the joker is definitely worth checking out.

I bought this for a friend who was leaving work and I wish I kept it. Lovely hard cover on this deluxe copy.

It is all I could have expected, includes all the original layouts by Bruce Timm and his colour guides of which we only had had a taste before. I am just sorry that most of them are not full-page, perhaps they though that would be too hard core, but I would have loved it. Shame the introduction by Paul Dini is re-cycled from other books and not edited to fit this one but it's a minor detail.

In love with batman and love Harley. This is a really good comic, very humorous and sad at the same time :)

Absolutely awesome xD

Good story and great art but it's quite short. If you're interested in a more in-depth Harley Quinn origin story, I would recommend Harleen, which is fantastic! Worth owning for big HQ fans I suppose.

the product was exactly how i had expected it to be. the book is one in a million masterpiece. I'm really delighted and highly grateful to amazon and the seller for giving me an opportunity for having the same. for all the batman fans this is a must have. glad to get the last one of these. if ever gets back in stock make sure you get yours before its too late :)

Llegó bien protegido y sin detalles o defectos aparentes, muy bonita esta edición, ya ansio leerla

This story is very much like the episode Mad Love in the Batman Animated Series. Paul Dini does a great work. I did not realize that this edition has sketches and notes from making of the comic, which was really cool.

"Face it, Harl. You're a certified nutzo wanted by the law in two dozen states...and hopelessly in love with a murderous, psychopathic clown. At what point did my life go looney tunes? How did it happen? Who's to blame? Batman, that's who! Batman! It's always been Batman!! Coming between me and my puddin' from the very beginning..." Um Joker ihre wahnsinnige Liebe zu beweisen, will Harley Batman für ihn zur Strecke bringen. Aber sie hat Mr. J's Narzissmus nicht bedacht, denn es kann nur einen geben, der Batman zur Strecke bringen darf. Egal, ob man noch vom letzten schlechten Buch frustriert ist oder vom Herbstwetter: MAD LOVE gibt die unbändige Freude am Leben zurück: Quietschbunt, grell, überdreht, irrsinnig witzig - Paul Dini und Bruce Timm sind ein Traumteam und MAD LOVE das Beste, das einem an einem grauen Tag passieren kann! Zur Ausgabe selbst: Die Deluxe Edition beinhaltet die Story mit einem Vorwort von Dini und einem Nachwort von Timm, die original Layouts in s/w sowie die original Color Guides jeweils für das gesamte Comic.

Enjoy and study Bruce Timm's style and storytelling with 3 takes of the comic tale Batman mad love, final production with color, then see the tight thumbnails and notice the changes made to the final inks, then you have the color guides, this is great for comic pros and people that want to improve the craft, not a recommendation if you already have the book and don't care to see the behind the scenes design
