The Dark Knight Returns, along with Watchmen, basically revived the comic industry. I haven't read Batman: Year One, though.

On Frank Miller, have you read any of the Sin City series? I loved the film, but haven't read any of the comics. Another big name in graphic novels is Neil Gaiman, but his stuff doesn't really appeal. It seems too up its own arse and the art work is indecipherable sometimes.

I've also read a few Constantine graphic novels, which are OK.
