Title. I like weird stuff that challenges the way you think. Not much of a traditional comic book reader, but there are some that have really gripped me lately (particularly the more out-there stuff by Moore or Morrison), and I'm looking for more stuff like that.

In the last couple years I've read:

The Invisibles
The Filth
Flex Mentallo
The Sandman
Promethea
Morrison's Animal Man
Transmetropolitan
The Incal

On my to-read list so far are Moore's Swamp Thing and the new Absolute Martian Manhunter. What else needs to be on the list?

Trashman

70s, hobo, superhero, sex fiend IIRC

Picked up the compilation at a 2nd hand store. Adult themes and graphic depictions.

Congrats on The Invisibles and The Incal. I still remember when Animal Man #1 was released in the newsagents.. I may have a copy around somewhere.

For more Morrison and Moore, trawl the 2000AD back progs/graphic novels.

Future Shocks short strips by Moore. I think he did DR. and Quinch also. A-grade

Other stories of merit from 80s-90s 2000AD:

Zenith

PJ Maybe

Button Man

Finn
