Some really extraordinary books no one has mentioned:

"The Lucky Road" and "The Curse of Brambly Hedge" by Linda Medley

"Heartbreak Soup" by Beto Hernandez (the first one)

"The Tragical Comedy of Mr. Punch" by Gaimen and Dave McCean -I actually like the art much more than the story, but the art is so good it more than compensates

"The Desert Peach -Politics, Planes and Puppies" by Donna Barr. I also love her Stinz collections.

The first Starman trade.

"Scout -the Four Monsters" by Tim Truman

"Mage, The Hero Discovered" by Matt Wagner.
