The machine at the BPL says I have 7 minutes to do this, so let's be brief:
Get The Complete Copybook Tales by J. Torres and Tim Levins - if you are a child of the 80s, it's a must, even if it's not the greatest graphic novel ever written or even in the top 300.
If you have a strong stomach, Rick Vietch has put Maximortal back in print. It's...great stuff, even if there's a character named El Guano. His name says it all. The story itself takes a fantastic approach to the creation of a Superman-like character and its creators, but that only scratches the surface. I'm eagerly awaiting Brat Pack, also by Vietch- it's about kid sidekicks and their twisted lives.
And visit the Buzzboy site. Here's online comics done right - It's actually using the website to promote and expand the original material, which was recently collected. I really, really love Buzzboy. Really.
