Tamaki has made a name for herself in the YA graphic novel market, with previous darlings such as “That One Summer” and “Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me,” while a quick read of Steven Pugh’s bibliography casts him mostly as a work-for-hire. Which brings us “Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass,” written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Steven Pugh. “Catwoman: Under the Moon” and the terrific “Teen Titans: Raven” were both heavy hitters with critics and audiences. In this case, their plan is this: deliver standalone tales for beloved characters that don’t have that infamous obstacle of continuity that stretches back decades.įortunately, it seems this strategy seems to be succeeding, with titles receiving much acclaim that has translated to massive success on the sales charts. Teenage Harleen Quinzel teams up with activists and drag queens against gentrification, bigotry, and injustice in a superb coming-of-age tale from writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Steven Pugh.ĭC Ink has had an uphill mission for an imprint of the Big Two since day one: appealing to a new audience. ![]()
