The Invisibles #6

Part of Vertigo's "Countdown to the Millennium" banner, this December 1999 chapter of Grant Morrison's genre-defying series arrives with a Brian Bolland cover that practically reaches off the shelf — a smirking, mustached figure in a gray suit and floral tie extends a single black die toward the viewer, its face showing sixes, above a dizzying checkerboard floor. The spine's repeating "MISTER SIX" branding and the story title "Six Minus Six" make it clear this issue belongs to one of The Invisibles' most slippery characters, rendered here with Bolland's signature hyper-detailed precision. With Morrison writing, Sean Phillips on interiors, and that unsettling grin daring you to roll, this is the kind of issue that rewards picking up.
