100 Comics

The list of 100 essential comics every fan of the 9th art should read. These are picked based on the quality of the art and story and not their popularity (i.e. the strength of the marketing machine behind them).
A couple of things to note:
1.) I am well aware that there are more than 100 essential comics and that some may be "better" than the ones on this list
2.) They're in random order :)
So, which of these have you read?
