The definitive origin of the DC Universe’s most iconic criminal couple begins here. Eisner Award–winning writer and artist Erica Henderson (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Jughead) charts the complete, canonical evolution of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy—enemies, allies, best friends, and ultimately partners.

From the spark of their first chaotic encounter to the moment their bond becomes undeniable, this intimate and sharply funny exploration reveals the messy, heartfelt, and explosive path that built comics’ most beloved duo.

Their journey isn’t easy. When the Joker frames Harley and Ivy for a spree of Gotham bombings, the entire city closes in—villains, vigilantes, and civilians alike. What begins as a reluctant partnership for survival transforms into trust, vulnerability, and a relationship strong enough to withstand Gotham’s worst…and each other’s baggage.

Harley & Ivy: Life & Crimes is the story fans have waited years to see—full of misadventure, romance, riotous humor, and the complicated sweetness that defines these two antiheroes at their best.
