Neil Gaiman's "Dream Hunters". It would have been a comics but the co author Yoshitaka Amano said he would rather enjoy illustrating it. I find it completely astonishing visually. It takes me back to my childhood with all those fairy tale books we had a home and while I was young enough to read and the pictures were amazing. The text is obviously great as Gaiman knows how to write a adult dark fantasy dairy tale like no one."From time to time I demonstrate the inconceivable, or mock the innocent, or give truth to liars, or shred the poses of virtue.(...)

I really did not know Yoshitaka Amano. Yesterday I was starting to read MM "The Prince With the Silver Hand" UK edition and then I suddenly realized that Amano had drawn the cover! Next I checked by Von Bek omnibus and Amano was the author of the cover as well! Hehehe Really a great thing to realize..."From time to time I demonstrate the inconceivable, or mock the innocent, or give truth to liars, or shred the poses of virtue.(...)

Speaking of cover art, I was looking at a 1st US edition copy of "The Land Leviathan" for sale online and I noticed that the jacket said cover art by The Quay Brothers. Are these the same Quay Brothers that are best known for their surreal stop motion animated short films?"He found a coin in his pocket, flipped it. She called: 'Incubus!'
'Succubus,' he said. 'Lucky old me.'" - Michael Moorcock The Final Programme

It's not impossible. From Wikipedia:
Before turning to film, the Quays worked as professional illustrators. The first edition of Anthony Burgess' novel The Clockwork Testament, or Enderby's End, feature their drawings before the start of each chapter. Nearly three decades before directly collaborating with Stockhausen, they designed the cover of the book Stockhausen: Conversations with the Composer (ed. Jonathan Cott, Simon & Schuster, 1973). After designing book covers for Gothic and science fiction book cover commissions they did while in Philadelphia, the Quays have created suggestive designs for a variety of publications that seem to reflect not only their own interests in particular authors..._"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.

I'm not a big fan of Manga but I am a huge fan of good psychological horror, therefore the last comics I read were Junji Ito's entire story 'Uzumaki'. A terrifying tale of a small coastal village in Japan who's residents are being terrorized by a Spiral Curse. The artwork is phenomenally good and the slow-paced foreboding atmosphere of the stories really gets under your skin.
Despite being a Japanese horror comic it's not particularly gratuitous and avoids sexual perversion or any kind of suggestive tentacle scenes in favour of a well crafted atmosphere.
I highly recommend this to fans of Lovecraft and Po.

Warren Ellis / Chris Sprouse "Ocean".
After I read it I could not avoid thinking this was a quite entertaining and smart science fiction story which could become a real great movie. Anyway, the plot is very interesting, an ocean in one of Jupiter's moons holding some ancient secrets. Fantastic art, dialogs and characters."From time to time I demonstrate the inconceivable, or mock the innocent, or give truth to liars, or shred the poses of virtue.(...)
