Dynamite Entertainment, DC Comics, and Queen "B" Productions have inked a deal for a Harley Quinn/Elvira crossover series.  The creative team will be Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, whose five-year run on DC’s Harley Quinn, from 2013-2018, made the character a popular icon and sold well in singles and trades (see "Full Year 2017 BookScan").  The project has the blessing of Cassandra Peterson, who created the campy character of Elvira as a B-movie hostess in the early 1980s.  Elvira’s first appearance in comics was as a horror host in DC's short-lived Elvira’s House of Mystery.

"This is one of those circumstances where the characters have so much in common that the books almost write themselves," Palmiotti said in a statement accompanying the announcement.  "The trouble these two are going to be getting in will be epic!"

"There are few who can match my charisma and appeal," noted Peterson, "but Harley is up there!"

Further details will be released as the project progresses.

Palmiotti and Conner have also created Red Sonja comics for Dynamite (see "ICv2 Interview: Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner on ‘The Invincible Red Sonja’").
