The New 52 Suicide Squad #1 page 19 (Volume 4, 2011) - key Harley Quinn 1st joins Suicide Squad!! Deadshot, King Shark, El Diablo, Black Spider, Savant, Voltaic

Super thrilled to score this key Harley Quinn page from the recent Comiink auction! Thankfully Comiclink didn't list the importance of this Suicide Squad comic so it slid under the radar. This comic is the first time Harley Quinn joins the Suicide Squad team and begins her path to becoming an antihero. Also the first time in continuity for a new costume away from her original Harlequin clown outfit. In my opinion this is the best page in the comic. It's the only full team image in this issue and it was used in several articles when the first Suicide Squad movie was announced. First Suicide Squad team appearances for not just Harley Quinn but also El Diablo, Savant, Black Spider & Voltaic. This comic was a full reboot of Suicide Squad and ignores the previous 3 volumes. July 2011 the Batman Arkham City video game was released which coincided with a limited prequel comic series by Paul Dini that filled in the time after Arkham Asylum and before Arkham City. The video game first introduced Harley Quinn's new costume look which was then first printed in issue 3 of Batman Arkham City. The classic clown Harlequin costume she started in was no more. This change was then introduced into continuity for this issue of Suicide Squad #1 in November 2011. Penciled by Ransom Getty on approx 11" x 17" DC Vertigo comic art board. It's also signed Ransom in the bottom right margin.
