What’s a comic book moment that lives in your head rent free?

I've been lucky enough to have interacted with Grant a number of times - enough that I felt comfortable telling him how much this run meant to me. He was very gracious. It was a treat to listen to him do interviews or to just shoot the shit with him when there was a moment.
During my last stint at DC, we had a press event for him (I think for MULTIVERSITY?) at the Burbank offices. Reporters got to spend one-on-one time with him for profile stories. It was a blast, and he was hilarious and charming, as usual.
At the end of the event I sheepishly asked him if he'd sign the splash page for me. I reminded him that it was basically my favorite comic book ever. I rarely, if ever, did stuff like that - geeked out while on the job. But this meant a lot to me.
He took the comic and sat down at the far end of the conference room. Then he came back and handed it to me solemnly. He watched carefully as I opened the page.
Underneath Buddy's "I CAN SEE YOU!" he wrote "...Naked! with love, Grant Morrison." It cracked me up, brought a tear to my eye, and made me feel a great closeness to Grant. It's his writing in a nutshell. It's one of the few signed comics I own.
Anyway, thanks for reading that!
