Watchmen
1.  Watchmen by Alan Moore
The list author says:
  "This has to go first because it's an undisputed classic. It's not my favourite by a long shot, but it was a ground breaking work in terms of scale, maturity and technical brilliance."
£11.69   Used & New from: £3.68
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (182 customer reviews) | 8 customer discussions

V for Vendetta
2.  V for Vendetta by Alan Moore
The list author says:
  "This is by the same author as watchmen and I like it more. It's a gritty distopian future britain and V takes his revenge against the fascist government. Very different in tone to the movie."
Used & New from: £7.37
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (79 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Batman: Year One - Deluxe Edition

Batman: Dark Knight Returns

New X-Men By Grant Morrison Ultimate Collection Book 1 TPB

Bone: One Volume Edition: 1 (Bone Series)
8.  Bone: One Volume Edition: 1 (Bone Series) by Jeff Smith

Locas: A Love and Rockets Book (Love and Rockets Books)
9.  Locas: A Love and Rockets Book (Love and Rockets Books) by Jaime Hernandez

The Walking Dead Book 1: Bk. 1
10.  The Walking Dead Book 1: Bk. 1 by Charlie Adlard
