DC has a lot of great comics cause it's got such great iconic characters.
I pretty much recommend anything by
Alan Moore- Simply the best ever. Anything by him. His DC work is all incredible. I also recommend DR & Quinch and Miracleman.
Frank Miller (until 9/11-- afterwhich he goes a bit nutty and produces crap- his All Star Batman is awful). Batman: Year One is always re-readable and The Dark Knight Returns is brilliant, too-- although I think we're now approaching the time frame when it takes place).
Grant Morrison: Probably my second favorite comic book writer of all time-- Animal Man, Doom Patrol, the latest Batman run, Arkham Asylum-- he also did a great Batman mini called Gothic, and All-Star Superman is a great comic, too. his JLA stuff was very innovative too and still holds up.
Garth Ennis: Hellblazer, Preacher on the DC side-- Punisher on the Marvel. Just a great story teller with a wicked sense of humor.
