DescriptionPublished August 2023 (I’m posting this on the day of release).I feel like I’ve been trying to get a piece of Samnee artwork forever. I’ve lost track of how many of his Batober pieces I bid on and lost. I’ve also gone after multiple Captain America pages by Samnee with no success. So, when I became aware of this cover being available, I decided to go for broke and get it. I’m glad I did. Samnee is one of my favorite artists working today, and to see him draw Harley in her original costume is a thrill. My thanks to James S, without whom I wouldn’t have known this was available!

Excellent cover! Great contrasting between B&W and I like how Samnee placed the spotlight right on the top corner for the title.

Striking image, thanks to a masterful use of black and white! And, for once, the published version does the OA justice!

Ebony and ivory on a cover so perfect Chris Samnee
Side by side on the bristol artboard, oh Lord, why Harley?
We all know that people read the same when Redder you go
There is good ol’ bat for ev'ryone
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive Batober alive

I can hear Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo in my head singing this while dressed as Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra.

Got Samnee's killer command of chiaroscuro, and so cool that she turns, and smiles, to find Bats. And love the detail on the actual bat, too! Congrats on nailing your're Samnee piece, man - it's a doozie. And good lookin' out, James S!

Bat boys, bat boys whatcha gonna do?

"Cops: Gotham City" must be a huge hit on Earth-One (or whatever the main DC Universe Earth is currently called).

Fantastic fun cover. I'm in the same boat as you (were) regarding (getting some art from) Samnee.

Nice cover piece and find from Samnee, exciting to have something that just hit the shelves.

Thanks! I think this may be only the second time I've had a piece of art for something in hand when the actual book hit the stands.

Congrats on getting a Samnee piece! I'm not sure which interpretation of the bat I like more- that all the Robins signed the bat over the years as a Bat-family heirloom, or that Harley killed them all and etched in their names after each kill.

Not just a published Samnee, but a Samnee COVER! And not just any cover, but a Bats/Harley cover. And not just any Harley, but the old school Harley (can't stand the Suicide Squad/Birds of Prey version). Love the b&w play on this. The graffiti on the bat (I mean the baseball bat) is perfect. Congrats on scoring your one-and-done Samnee piece. (Well, it's only one-and-done if you want it to be. But heck, if your luck is running this hot, personally I'd keep playing.)

You definitely scored with this one! I wish Samnee would jump on a batbook so we could see him draw these characters more often. Glad your hunt for his art paid off! Huge congrats!

Wow! What an amazing Harley Quinn cover! Gorgeous pencils and inks by Chris Samnee! Love that Harley is holding a bat with "Batboy" carved into it. And how cool to have Batman appear only in shadow. Fabulous pick-up, Congrats!
