Inspired by not going to see The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen at the cinema, I've been reading and rereading a few comic books recently, and I just wondered if anybody had any reccommendations.

I've not read many graphic novels at all and I don't know much about what's good and what's crap. I've read The League..., From Hell, The Ballad of Halo Jones and a few other things by Alan Moore: I love his stuff, but I'd rather read it gradually than buy everything he's ever written and read it in a fortnight. I also enjoyed the first Sandman book. But apart from that I'm a bit lost.

Is there any other series or writers that I should look out for?

Well I only read the Batman ones, so I'm a bit biased, but Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns is a seminal classic and hugely respected in the comics world.

Other names to look out for are Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, Tim Sale, and other Batman classics include Batman: Year One, the Hush series and the Knightfall series.

Akira is an epic read.

Preacher was good.

Appleseed is fun.
