When I was a kid, there were a handful of comic books
you might see on people’s bookshelves. Never mind that, in my neighborhood,
bookshelves themselves were quite a rarity, and if any of my friends’ parents did have books they might be Reader’s Digest collections and some
romance paperbacks. But besides at my home, where the comic strip reprints came
thick and heavy courtesy of my father, the two comics I saw filed away with
various Time-Life series and the past
year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was the Marvel Treasury adaptation of
the Land of Oz, and Superman vs. Muhammad Ali. I remember
thumbing through it at other people’s houses (my father didn’t actually own a
copy of this, despite having three collections of Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck
comics), but it wasn’t until the deluxe reprint from a few years ago that I
learned just how insane this story is. You don’t need to read it to enjoy this
issue of Harley’s Black Book, but it
does draw heavily from Superman vs.
Muhammad Ali and would help your understanding some of the…wackier stuff.
Though if you’re a regular reader of Harley
Quinn, wackiness is nothing new to you! Still, maybe you should go get Superman vs. Muhammad Ali and read it,
then come back to my review, okay? I’ll be here when you’re ready, just look
below!
