The greatest in graphic novels and artbooks, by series
Aliens Vs. Predator: Deadliest of the Species Bk.2Aliens Vs. Predator: Deadliest of the Species Bk.2 by Chris Claremont
Buy used from: £9.94
The best AVP graphic novel, bar the Broken Tusk saga. Hard to get hold of, but well worth it.
Mort: The Big Comic (Discworld)Mort: The Big Comic (Discworld) by Terry Pratchett
Buy used from: £6.21
Probably the best Pratchett graphic novel conversion; The Light Fantastic and Colour of Magic are OK, but not as good as this.
Preacher Gone to Texas (Preacher (DC Comics))Preacher Gone to Texas (Preacher (DC Comics)) by Garth Ennis
Buy used from: £5.98
You've GOT TO have heard of this. Personal fave's the Saint of All Killers, but that's my twisted sense of humour for you.
Hellblazer: Original SinsHellblazer: Original Sins by Jamie Delano
Buy used from: £12.33
The next big 'alternative comic' to be made into a film (under the title Constantine), they have a lot of work to do to catch ANY of what made these so good. Trust me, it's well worth the searching.
Spawn: Creation (Spawn)Spawn: Creation (Spawn) by Todd McFarlane
Buy used from: £21.18
Like you didn't know THIS was coming. Ignore the film, read the comics. You'll thank me later.
Lucifer : Devil in the GatewayLucifer : Devil in the Gateway by Mike Carey
Buy new: £7.59 / Used from: £5.00
Almost as intriguing as its parent publication Sandman, Lucifer is very, very cool. Well drawn, well written, and not as heathenistic as you'd think.
The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman)The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman) by Neil Gaiman
Buy new: £7.76 / Used from: £5.71
And of course, this IS Sandman. Neil Gaiman, we have a lot to thank you for.
The Assassin's Road (Lone Wolf & Cub S.) Vol 1: Assassin's Road v. 1 (Lone Wolf and Cub (Dark Horse))The Assassin's Road (Lone Wolf & Cub S.) Vol 1: Assassin's Road v. 1 (Lone Wolf and Cub (Dark Horse)) by Kazuo Koike
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.63
Dark Horse did the world a favour by translating this. Possibly my favourite manga ever.
Akira: Vol.1: Bk. 1Akira: Vol.1: Bk. 1 by Katsuhiro Otomo
Buy new: £11.46 / Used from: £8.90
OK, think manga, think this: 'The manga that began it all - now available for a new generation!'
Ghost in the Shell: v. 1Ghost in the Shell: v. 1 by Masamune Shirow
Buy used from: £8.00
Of course, my OWN fave sci-fi manga is this- a fantastic piece of work by Masamune Shirow. If you like, get his Intron Depot books too...

AKA '2000 AD's guide to bad behaviour'. It's fantastic, and reminds you that you should be thankful teens are so quiet.

Lady Death Vol 1: A Medieval TaleLady Death Vol 1: A Medieval Tale by Brian Pulido
If i didn't put this in, my partner would kill me- she loves this.
Dork Shadows, the Collected Dork Tower, Vol 2Dork Shadows, the Collected Dork Tower, Vol 2 by John Kovalic
Buy new: £8.68 / Used from: £4.07
If you can find it, get Dork Covenant, which is volume 1. But, this will suffice.
Lyra's OxfordLyra's Oxford by Philip Pullman
Buy used from: £0.01
OK, it's not technically an art book, but it IS close. It's really good.
The World of "the Dark Crystal": Featuring New Art and Introduction by the ArtistThe World of "the Dark Crystal": Featuring New Art and Introduction by the Artist by Brian Froud
