Secret Six #1, p.22

THIS IS MY GRAIL PIECE. I got featured in the weekly CAF newsletter back in May and this was my #1 wishlist piece. At the time, it was trapped in the storage locker of inker Jimmy Palmiotti, and it took nearly a year of work to get it out of there and into my collection. But oh Lord, it's worth it all.

I remember reading the first issue of Secret Six and thinking it was good, but then getting to the last page and just pausing for a good few minutes just taking in that awesome art and the revelation that my favorite character, the Mad Hatter, was going to play a part in this mini series. When I started collecting I asked Brad Walker if he had the page (I have a lot of Brad/Jimmy's pages from this series in my collection already) he said that it was probably with the inker, and I had no way of contacting Jimmy. Eventually things turned out for the better, and he broke this bad boy free from storage!
