A Harley Quinn For All-Ages #3

Hi Everyone,

This blog post will feature my most recent all-age Harley Quinn (DC Comics) comic book transcript. In this story Poison Ivy leaves Harley Quinn with a very special plant that can send anyone who touches it into a deep sleep. After Harley's dream was disturbed she does what Ivy warns her not to do and touches the plant which sends her into dreamland. This comic features a tribute to the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland.

I hope you enjoy!

In Caption: Poison Ivy’s nursery for plants. The new home to Harley Quinn *see issue two.

Ivy: Harley, today is a very important day for me.

Harley: Ooh what’s happenin’, red?

 

2 – Harley sitting up straight. Ivy opening up the door.

Ivy: I am attending a flower convention at the Gotham City greenhouse. I have had tickets for a while so I can steal all of these beautiful and rare flowers.

Harley: Boring! Why are you all dressed up like that for it?

 

3 – Ivy pointing to the window.

Ivy: Have you not seen the weather outside?

 

4 – Close up on the window. Weather is dark, raining.

Ivy: I don’t mind the rain but when I have to be somewhere, I want to get there dry.

Harley: But what am I gonna do with you gone and nowhere to go? I’m gonna be all by my lonesome.

Ivy: Fine. I’ve got a little job to keep you busy then.

Harley: Ooh what is it?

 

3 – Ivy and Harley both looking down at the potted plant.

Ivy: This is my new baby. It’s still very small and needs a lot of water to help it grow.

Harley: Can’t I just stick it outside in the rain for a while? That’ll do it.

 

4 – Ivy giving evils to Harley.

Ivy: No!

 

5 – Close up to the potted plant. You can still see Ivy’s green gloves wrapped around it to show Ivy is holding it still.

Harley: Sounds simple enough.

 

2 – Ivy giving the plant a little kiss.

Ivy: You have to be very careful not to actually touch the plant though. Contact with any of its leaves or branches will leave you in a deep sleep. It doesn’t affect me though because I’m Poison Ivy.

 

3 – Harley looking intrigued.

Harley: Hmm okay, I get it. I won’t let ya down.

 

4 – Ivy leaving through the front door, waving good bye to Harley.

Ivy: I trust you. Now I’ll see you later, Harl’.

Harley: Later, red!

Harley: Oh gee, that’s great. I’m lookin’ to get home somehow. Do you know a way back to our place, red?

Harley: Thanks Ivy!  

 

5 – Harley skipping down the yellow brick road and Bud running after her.

6 – Harley having a light bulb idea. Scarecrow happy.

Harley: Say, I’ve got an idea! Why don’t you come with me to see the wizard? He’s helpin’ me get home and I’m sure he’ll help you find your brain.

Harley: How?

 

4 – Clayface looking at Scarecrow.

Clayface: You’re looking for your brain, right? Well you don’t need to as you’ve already demonstrated to yourself and others that you are clever. You helped unlock Mr Freeze’s suit using a rusty old oil can. Not everyone is smart enough to do that.

Scarecrow: That’s true. I think I now remember the fear gas formula!

 

5 – Clayface looking at Mr Freeze.

Clayface: Mr Freeze, you have shown that even without your wife you have a heart. You helped give Catwoman the courage to come with you on your adventure.

Mr Freeze: I guess.

 

6 – Clayface looking at Catwoman.

Clayface: Catwoman, you are one of the bravest people the world has ever seen. You destroyed Batgirl and saved munchkin land from her wickedness.

Clayface: No, it was Catwoman. She is a hero.

Page 14

1 – Clayface looking at Harley and Bud.

Harley: Sure, like that’s gonna work. Ha! I guess I’ll give it a go though.

Harley: Here we go again.

Harley: This isn’t home! That stupid Clayface tricked me.

 

6 – Harley turning her head to look around.

Harley: I wonder where I am.

Harley: I’m home!

 

5 – Harley jumping up and down with joy.

Harley: Yay, yay, yay! I love this sofa, I love this TV, I love this rug!
