Watchmen, by written by Alan Moore, illustrated and lettered by Dave Gibbons, coloured by John Higgins; copyright © 1986, 1987 DC Comics, Inc.; Book Club edition; no ISBN listed. Originally published in twelve issues in magazine form in 1986 & 1987.
Knowing that there was a Watchman movie in the works, I decided to re-read the comic. I enjoyed it again.

Bone, by Jeff Smith, copyright © 2004; Cartoon Books, 11th printing; ISBN-10 1-888963-14-X, ISBN-13 978-1-888963-14-X.
A well told fantasy story, both serious and humorous, with excellent art and interesting characters, Bone starts small and builds up to mythic. Well worth reading.

The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, by Bryan Talbot, copyright 1990, 1991, 1997, 2007; introduction copyright 1997 Michael Moorcock; all other material, unless otherwise specified, copyright 2007 Dark Horse Comics Inc; Dark Horse Books/Dark Horse Comics, Inc., Second Edition: 2007, 1st printing; ISBN: 978-1=59307-725-9.
I can see why Moorcock likes this. I found it very dense in places, but worth it.
