Back in September, a furor erupted around a contest that DC Comics was running to draw a page of today’s Harley Quinn #0.Written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, the issue is drawn by 16 different artists, including some legends in the field–and one talented contest winner, who produced a page of art based on a four-panel script Conner and Palmiotti released, unlettered, via DC Comics’s blog for consideration.Here’s the four panels, as originally described on the contest page:PANEL 1- Harley is on top of a building, holding a large DETACHED cellphone tower in her hands as lightning is striking just about everywhere except her tower. She is looking at us like she cannot believe what she is doing. Beside herself. Not happy.PANEL 2 – Harley is sitting in an alligator pond, on a little island with a suit of raw chicken on, rolling her eyes like once again, she cannot believe where she has found herself. We see the alligators ignoring her.PANEL 3 – Harley is sitting in an open whale mouth, tickling the inside of the whale’s mouth with a feather. She is ecstatic and happy, like this is the most fun ever.PANEL 4 – Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a chord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of “oh well, guess that’s it for me” and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.
