"#1 Am the Loneliest Number


Harley Quinn #17
April 2002
The book opens with Harley Quinn trying to figure out how she can best remove herself from the clingy Bizarro, who has come seeking her advice on how he can find the love of his life. After a few miscues we see Harley is able to figure out how to deal with the backwards thinking Bizarro, and when she sees that he's not going to let her get away until she solves his problem, she decides to make the most of the situation by making Bizarro part of her supporting cast. We then see Harley arrive back at her apartment, where she & Poison Ivy engage in a question/answer session with their hostage Thorn, before Bizarro arrives to spoil their fun. We then see Jimmy Olson with his uncanny talent to stumble into the most dangerous situations on the planet, decides he's going to pay a visit to Harley's apartment. As Jimmy walks into an apartment full of super-villains, we look in on Clark Kent, as he discovers that Harley & Bizarro have joined forces, and the issue ends with Superman deciding this is a situation that requires his attention.
