I used to love comics but its been a while i would not be able to give you any by name!

You should browse the internet, and you never know, you might find something you really really want that you used to love alot. I just watched "300" for the 100th time (i still love it) and thinking about Frank Millers comics of this movie got me thinking about other ones, next thing you know, I bought The Illusrated Warrior #1-7 (all of them) by Billy Tucci, and "The Definitive Shi" Collection by him as well, all at once for over $65.

Something like that could happen to you

Last I read some years ago was Watchmen. My wife is friends with Bryan Talbot's wife - believe he's a good illustrator...

Cheers
Tony

ps my wife tells Bryan that I'm a good guitar player so don't believe a word that a spouse says

Bryan Talbot is great - did some awesome work on some issues of my all time favorite - Sandman.

Other than that, once again I'm a sucker for the classic, potentially pretentious stuff...

Watchmen and V for Vendetta by Moore and Gibbons/Lloyd
Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo (of course)
Signal to Noise and Violent Cases by Gaiman and McKean
Cages by McKean
Arkham Asylum by Morrison and McKean (hate the writing, love the art)
And when a kid, I really loved the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Saga of X-Men.

Never quite liked Miller's stuff - wonderful artwork, but his writing doesn't catch me.

I prefered Miller for his art, his writing is pretty cool though. Sin City ok, the only writing i REALLY Liked of his was 300, I have a thing for historical type subjects, and when i bought the graphic novel of 300 about 2 years ago, i though it was great.

There making alot of movies of comic books now, the biggest one being Iron Man, which looks to be pretty intense.
