Hmm, lets see now aside from the ones mentioned by others earlier in the thread,

Warren Ellis's "Preacher" while not Pg is a lot of fun, and somthing i've enjoyed rereading quiet a few times. Rereading the whole run in TBP after one of my exams was quiet a strange experience.

Alan Moore's "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" is a classic. I really loved and enjoyed the first two volumes and while the Black Dossier was good, I did not like it as much. However its still definitely one of Moore's best works.

His " Top Ten " and "Tom Strong" are also among my favorites exploring themes that I enjoy a lot

Back to Ellis, His Graphic Novel "Orbiter" is something I loved since I first saw it, and actually spent some time trying to get a copy as i first read it in the library. If you enjoy space, but get frustrated by how bureaucratic it has become, its well worth having a look.

Another Ellis Series that I really enjoy is " Planetary" which is an enjoyable romp with the ideo if exploring the hidden secrets of the world, and looks at a lot of the tropes of Early SF, Comics, Movies etc. Its one of My all time fav's and something I'll recommend whole heartedly

Similarly his "Global Frequency" was another take on it, but without the capes and I was dreadfully disappointed when the TV show neve got past the Pilot stage. If you can get the books, and try and get a copy of the pilot to see after reading them. Its well worth it.

Edit: As pointed out Preacher is Gareth Ennis not Warren Ellis D'oh!
