En ce mois de septembre, DC Comics a lancé un concours ouvert à tous concernant le numéro 0 du prochain titre d'Harley Quinn - à paraître en novembre 2013.
Il s'agissait de dessiner la page 15 (composée de 4 cases), dont le script avait été mis en ligne par DC. Le vainqueur verrait alors sa page publiée dans le numéro, au côté des artistes prestigieux dessinant le reste de l'histoire.
Simon a participé au concours en soumettant la page (réalisée au crayonné) que vous trouverez plus bas.
Voici le script qu'il fallait respecter :
PANEL 1
Harley is on top of a building, holding a large DETACHED cellphone tower in her hands as lightning is striking just about everywhere except her tower. She is looking at us like she cannot believe what she is doing. Beside herself. Not happy.
PANEL 2
Harley is sitting in an alligator pond, on a little island with a suit of raw chicken on, rolling her eyes like once again, she cannot believe where she has found herself. We see the alligators ignoring her.
PANEL 3
Harley is sitting in an open whale mouth, tickling the inside of the whale’s mouth with a feather. She is ecstatic and happy, like this is the most fun ever.
PANEL 4
Harley sitting naked in a bathtub with toasters, blow dryers, blenders, appliances all dangling above the bathtub and she has a cord that will release them all. We are watching the moment before the inevitable death. Her expression is one of “oh well, guess that’s it for me” and she has resigned herself to the moment that is going to happen.
