Scatch 'n Sniff Harley Quinn Cover Art Set
DC Comics is releasing a series of scratch 'n sniff comic covers for Harley Quinn Annual #1. They will come with four different scents that include leather, suntan lotion, pizza and a “mystery smell," which is called "cannabisylocibe 7-A," which is basically weed. That smell is only available in the U.S. because of customs issues.
They released two of four covers, the piece of art above was created by Ant Lucia. The other illustration included below comes from Conner Mounts. Both of them are fantastic pieces.
IGN spoke with the book writer Jimmy Palmiotti, who described the story.
“Yeah, the basic story is Poison Ivy has been thrown in Arkham Asylum, and Harley gets word that she’s in there and decides that she’s going to break her out. So the smells kind of work within the story. Since we have the whole breakout and why Ivy was brought there in the first place, and then we have a lot of different sequences, the cool thing about the story is that it kind of goes off to little places here and there. Although John Timms is drawing the book — we have a bunch of artists drawing doing different scenes in the book, and it actually makes sense to the story we’re presenting. So like Harley usually is, it’s a very crazy story that makes sense in her head and hopefully to the readers.”
I think it's awesome DC is bringing back Scratch 'n Sniff. They aren't calling it that though, they are calling it "Rub-and-Smell."
