Reviews"Harley Quinn's re-introduction by Dini and Cadigan as a woman with agency makes her an anti-hero for new generations" - Adventures in Poor Taste "does exactly what this new line of books should with beloved stories: expand the original but never disrespect it...If you're a Harley Quinn fan, I highly recommend this book" - Batman on Film "she actually feels like a real person with real agency in a story that's all her own. For fans of Harley Quinn and comics in general, I can't stress enough how much you need this book in your life" - The BiblioSanctum "I would highly recommend this...You don't need prior knowledge to enjoy this book, but even better, those who know Harley and The Joker inside out will still read about something new." - Geekisphere " Mad Love is an exciting read that reveals how two men create one of the ultimate anti-heroes" - The Koalition

SynopsisThe definitive story of Harley Quinn by her co-creator, Paul Dini, and Pat Cadigan, revealing the secrets of her history even as she seeks to kill Batman. Dr. Harleen Quinzel grew up in an abusive household with a criminal and became a psychologist to deal with her own broken family. At Arkham Asylum, she attempted to treat the Joker and instead fell hopelessly in love with him, helping him escape and becoming a member of his organisation. Quinzel became Harley Quinn, a bizarre contradiction of violence and mercy. She blames Batman for her inability to maintain a stable relationship with the arch-villain, and that causes her to have an abiding hatred for the hero, who she seeks to kill. Upon capture she becomes a violent inmate at Belle Reve Penitentiary, and is assigned to the group of government-maintained super villains known as the Suicide Squad., The definitive story of Harley Quinn by her co-creator, Paul Dini, and Pat Cadigan, revealing the secrets of her history even as she seeks to kill Batman. When she was only seven years old, Harleen Quinzel witnessed her father being beaten up by thugs, and then arrested by the police. That night she ran away to the safest place she could think of: Coney Island amusement park. But there, pursued into the Funhouse by the men who brutalised her father, she beheld unimaginable horrors. Years later, Harleen has put her past behind her, and used her intelligence and ambition to escape her childhood of poverty with a career in psychiatry. Assigned to her first position at Arkham Hospital, she will discover, deep in the asylum, something dangerous and alluring, something quite unlike anything else she has ever known before: The Joker. Because why would you settle for love, when you could have MAD LOVE? From the moment that Harleen finds a rose on her desk, to the moment she dons her harlequin hat, this is the definitive story that chronicles the obsession, the burning desire, the manic laughter, and the birth of one of the most controversial and popular comic book supervillains ever created: Harley Quinn.
