Harley Quinn Fart Comic Cover Revealed: Why Fans Are Calling It Dc's Worst Ever
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Q1: Why did DC Comics publish Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly #1?
DC greenlit the one-shot specifically as a seasonal April Fools Day parody special, designed to release on April 1, 2025, poking fun at superhero tropes through irreverent, gross-out humor.
Q2: Who were the primary creators behind the issue?
The special was written by Emmy-winning comedy writer Elliott Kalan, widely known for his tenure at The Daily Show, alongside a rotating roster of DC cartoonists and humor illustrators.
Q3: Is the comic considered part of mainstream DC Universe canon?
No. The issue is an out-of-continuity gag comic. Its events hold no canonical bearing on ongoing storylines in the flagship Harley Quinn solo title, Detective Comics, or Batman.
Q4: How did comic book stores handle the controversial cover?
While some shop owners tucked the primary cover behind counters due to family-friendly store policies, strong collector interest and online buzz helped the title sell through its initial print run quickly.
