Funny, how different taste is. I would only pick a few of the books on your top 200 on my top 200. On the top of my list I would pick: Modesty Blaise, Prince Valiant, Blake & Mortimer, Carl Barks, Blueberry, Calvin & Hobbes, Tintin, EC Library, Tintin, Asterix, Spirou, Gaston Lagaffe, Bernard Prince, Flash Gordon, Rip Kirby, X9 Agent Corrigan, Garth, Phantom, Michel Vaillant, Tarzan by Manning, Bruno Brazil, Lucky Luke, Valerian. I would consider Don Rosa, Kamandi, Watchmen and the Incal.

True, about the taste. But that is why we need such a diverse creative community! Kind of like when everybody bought Emily Strange, but some opted for Bone or Preacher or even Batman. Really, I just love comics and great graphic novels don't just appear every Wednesday - sometimes they take years!
