The character Harley Quinn was conceived by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for 'Batman: The Animated Series', debuting in episode 22 on September 11, 1992. Independent artisan works combining comic book iconography with traditional pyrography and blacklight-reactive pigments proliferated in artist alleys and craft markets between 2015 and 2024.
COLLECTOR NOTES
Harley Quinn's costume design was based directly on an 1890s traditional commedia dell'arte Arlecchino jester motif before being adapted for the 1992 animated series.
The glowing effect visible under 365 nm to 395 nm ultraviolet light is produced by synthetic phosphors in the acrylic medium, a formulation popularized by Day-Glo Color Corp in 1946.
