Artist Stjepan Sejic is mostly known for a lot of the humorous fan comics he creates. We've featured a lot of stuff of his in the past, some of which you can see here. In one of his more recent pieces, he retells the origin story of Harley Quinn and how she fell under The Joker's control. There's no humor in this one — this is a very dark and tragic story. The artist explains:

"It's an elseworlds approach so a lot of freedom was taken, but basically I had this idea of humanizing villains. Harley always struck me as a fascinating character because she was a psychiatrist. She could literally recognize her own pathology while being unable to stop it.



"Like I said, it's an elseworlds take. Some things aren't the same. Harley here is a skilled, if tunnelvisiones psychiatrist who sees the joker as both a challenge and a potential solution to her theory of mental disorder as a survival mechanism.



"What starts off as a professional fascination goes horribly wrong."

It's pretty intense and totally worth checking out if you get a chance. I really liked the artist's take on the character. The comic isn't finished, and the artist says it will not be finished — he describes it as "glorified warmup fanart."
