I really, really am fond of the Akira manga, which Dark Horse republished a few years back as a collection of six books. I'm not sure how hard that is to find, but if you can, it's well worth it.

I also quite enjoyed the Bone series, which is widely available. It's in a fairly different vein than anything else out there these days. Sort of a cross between Pogo and Lord of the Rings, which is as odd as you'd think.

I would recommend Frank Miller's Daredevil collections. His work on that comic was pretty novel at the time. There are far more imitators these days, but few are as good.
