If you are going to read Richard Grossman--start with "The Alphabet Man"---a 
stunning book.

All of Alan Moore's books really throw a wrench into the corporate comic 
works.

 All,
 
 The following works aren't /strictly/ avant-garde*, but worth
 checking out:
   . Chris Ware's "The Acme Novelty Library"
   . Kyle Baker's "Why I Hate Saturn", "The Cowboy Wally Show"
   . Peter Milligan's "Shade the Changing Man"
 
 And a friend tells me "Finder" is worth the read.
 
 Richard Grossman's "The Book of Lazarus" isn't a comic, but
 might appeal to folk who like books with pictures.
 
 I'd love to hear other suggestions (particularly less mainstream
 works).
 
 Regards,
 -Adam.
 
 * ...but in comics it seems a crazy notion to produce something
 worthwhile...
