Description
OK, it might not be a Scarface tribute, but it still is visually arresting and a stellar, subtle piece from the man who does the best Mad Hatter art in comics, Tim Sale.

To say that Tim Sale was a hole in my collection is an understatement. I passed up a $250 Madness page about 6 years ago and I've kicked myself every since (especially when that page attempted to get resold for $600 in 2013). Tim Sale Hatters aren't as rare as you might think, but people tend to hold on to them (I heard that Kevin Smith has one of his Madness double-page spreads at his house).

I love this piece. It's just that awesome, the wash, the lines, the pose. Creepy and in-charge. It's different from his other Hatters and that's a plus.

I have to thank Yoshimichi Majima and Jerry Livengood for helping me out with this. Tim was at Emerald City Con in 2014 and I couldn't get out there. But Yoshi stood in line and fronted me the cash and Jerry shipped it across the country (after a hand-off by comic artist Pete Woods, oddly enough).

You and I have spoken about Tim and those infamous pages that you have missed over the years. I'm so happy that you were able to work this out. It's a great piece. Congrats, my friend.
