What are some good graphic novels to check out (besides Watchmen)?

I read Watchmen and loved it. Are there any that compare?
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Looking at a couple sources I trust, TIME magazine and Amazon.com, there were a few titles that appeared on both TIME's top 10 and Amazon's Top 40:

1. Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware (Pantheon; 2000)
2. Blankets by Craig Thompson (Top Shelf; 2003)
3. Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories by Gilbert Hernandez (Fantagraphics Books; 2003)

And then the only graphic novel I've ever personally read is "Maus : A Survivor's Tale" by Art Spiegelman, which got a ton of great press when it came out in '92. Very moving. (#4 on Amazon's list)

And of course you could just read some other Alan Moore stuff: "From Hell" and "V For Vendetta" were both made into successful films and are on Amazon's list (#'s 10 and 14, respectively...Watchmen came in at #1, btw).

My personal recommendations would be Transmetropolitan and Local

I'm partial to the Neil Gaiman "Sandman" series. It's pretty dark, but every so often I have to enjoy a little good, creative dark. It's also very complex, with intriguing characters.
The graphic novel of "V for Vendetta" was excellent, too. The movie got the flavor of it pretty well.
Enjoy!
