Be Cruel 2 Your School · 23 pages
Happi's hired detectives try to trap Harley by using her old psyche professor with whom she has a killer history. Harley's gang gets bored and mutinous while she is traipsing through her origin.

Publisher’s description

Guest artists Pete Woods (ROBIN) & Mark Lipka illustrate a special issue that delves into Harley's past. Ex-FBI profiler Dr. Cary Chispazo and her cohorts in bounty hunting, Surley and Donner, think they've found the start of the mess that grew up to be Harley Quinn. A field trip to Gotham State University uncovers some rather disturbing and unknown facts about Miss Harleen Quinzel. Plus, a plot against Harley begins.
