Transmetropolitan
Transmetropolitan [1], Back on the Street By Ellis, Warren (Book - 2009) ELL All copies in use. Availability details

Annotation:Certainly, this is Warren Ellis' most successful series and for good reason: The adventures of the reporter Spider Jerusalem (yup, a Hunter S. Thompson rip-off) always in search of truth and beauty in a dystopic time never comes off too cheap or trite. Some bits are over the top but, for the most part, it is a solid series.

Frank Miller's Sin City
Frank Miller's Sin City [1], The Hard Goodbye By Miller, Frank (Book - 2005) MIL Available in some Locations

Annotation:As far as I'm concerned, this is the best in the Sin City series. Diminishing returns in ensuing volumes as it seems to devolve into a bland parody of itself.
