EXCLUSIVE: One of SIX Facsimile Editions coming from DC in March 2025…
DC’s increasing commitment to its Facsimile Edition program is my favorite development in the comics biz over the last several months.
There are seven coming in January, six coming in February — and now, six more for March. Plus we’re getting Super Powers variants, too.
I can’t say any one is the true highlight of March, because it’s a great selection that comes down to a matter of your interest. But there’s one that is aboslutely shocking that we haven’t gotten yet, and that’s 1993’s The Batman Adventures #12, featuring the first comics appearance of Harley Quinn.
Dig the solicitation info, which will be formally released later this week:

A costume party gives Barbara Gordon the chance to dress up like her hero, but a couple of criminal party-crashers force her to truly throw herself into the role! Does this “Batgirl” have what it takes to take down Poison Ivy and her unpredictable new partner? Dive into the DC Comics debut of Harley Quinn!

A few thoughts:
— The Super Powers variant features Batgirl and you can check out more about it here.
— In 2023, we posted 13 FACSIMILE EDITIONS We’re Surprised DC COMICS Hasn’t Published Yet — RANKED. A number of the issues on the list have been released since, but not this one. Given that Harley is a major franchise unto herself, it’s a genuine surprise to me that it’s taken this long. There was a Dollar Comics reprint several years ago, but those don’t count.
— In addition to the links below, make sure you come back to 13th Dimension on Friday, when we’ll have even more DC Facsimile Edition news — including another Treasury Edition!
— Obligatory Price Comparison: An unslabbed, NM/NM+ original copy recently sold on eBay for $750.
