Anything by Alan Moore. Promethea is a personal fave, but might not be the best place to start. Top Ten is also very good if cop drama overlaid with some super-hero stuff sounds appealing. Watchman is a cornerstone of the form, but you will definitely appreciate it more if/when you have a fair bit of 'capes & tights' superhero work under your belt.
Blankets is just stunning. I've bought it 3 times already and have the new hardcover edition on perorder.
Stardust is another great one by Neil Gaiman. It's also unique in that if you enjoy the story you can experience it in 3 different, but all very good, forms. The original comic, the prose novel, and the film all work quite well and give a nice window into what bits a pieces work better in each form.
Of course no comic list is complete without Maus and Understanding Comics.
Promethea by Alan Moore. A short, five volume series that follows a college girl through different dimensions, exploring mythology, philosophy, spirituality, and the meaning of life. With amazingly extravagant art.

Have you read Promethea? I see her as a modern day Mercurial figure, and the imagery in the comics would make amazing tattoos.
Promethea by Alan Moore (same guy who wrote Watchmen, V for Vendetta etc.)
A superhero story, of sorts, it's more of a modern version of the divine comedy. It has some fascinating insights into science, feminism, consumerism, sex and mysticism.
The art, especially the covers are often gorgeous and often allude to famous works/styles/artists of the past. It was always fun to try to figure out who they were alluding to.
Oh and if it wasn't obvious this is a graphic novel and probably best to be kept adults only.
Check these out:
I read the first two books of Saga and Promethea. Both are great!
I also started on Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, which is going to take me a while to get through.
