For comic book collectors, certain issues hold an iconic status, and Batman Adventures #12 is no exception. Released in 1993, this particular issue marks the first comic book appearance of Harley Quinn, one of the most popular characters in the DC Universe. It’s a landmark issue that every Batman and Harley Quinn fan seeks to own. Now, imagine having this issue signed by none other than Kelly Puckett, the writer responsible for shaping this beloved comic. That’s exactly what makes a CBCS 8.0 SS (Signature Series) copy of Batman Adventures #12 so special.

 

 

Why Batman Adventures #12 is So Coveted

Harley Quinn’s character has become a sensation, first capturing hearts on the small screen in Batman: The Animated Series, before making the jump into comic book lore. Originally created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, she wasn’t part of the comic universe until Batman Adventures #12. This makes the issue a true collector’s item, often fetching significant prices at auctions and online.

But rarity alone doesn’t make this comic so special—it’s the character’s legacy that truly cements its value. Harley Quinn has grown beyond the pages of DC comics to become a pop culture phenomenon, thanks to her colorful personality and unpredictability.

Signed by Kelly Puckett: A Personal Touch

Kelly Puckett, the writer behind this issue, may not have envisioned just how iconic Harley would become, but his work contributed greatly to her introduction into the comic world. Having his signature on a graded copy elevates the book’s status, especially within CBCS’s coveted Signature Series. For collectors, signatures of creators, particularly writers, give the comic a personal connection to its origins.
