I'd sure like to second the nomination for both Journey and Cerebus.
These are the two that got me reading comics again. (If you've no use
for costumed super-heroes, you'll appreciate Cerebus' "Cockroach" at least.)
Fair warning though, Mark -- grown-up stories seldom fit into a single
comic book. If you sample only a single issue of either Cerebus or Journey
you are likely to end up more confused than informed. On t'other hand,
if you like the humor or whatever, you'll go out and find enough issues
to make sense out of it, so maybe I'm warning for nothing.
