[QUOTE="The Traveler, post: 162293, member: 179"] Some of these have already been covered, but this is my recommendation list.[list][*]Grant Morrison's [i]The Invisibles[/i] - Occult conspiracy. Good mixture of sci-fi, fantasy, and just old-fashioned weirdness. Very deep stuff with the references Morrison throws around, but absolutely stunning series. I've used it as inspiration for a brit-pop sort of Austin Powers themed Call of Cthulhu campaign.[*]Alan Moore's [i]From Hell[/i] - Do not see the movie. The movie is suck. As for the comic, it's available in a lovely bookshelf anthology. Hermetic ritual, the Jack the Ripper murders, Freemasonry, it just all kicks butt put together.[*]Garth Ennis' [i]The Preacher[/i] - Cowboys, a gunslinging angel of death, and the last descendants of the bloodline of Christ. Blasphemously good, and excellent inspiration for a [i]Deadlands[/i] campaign.[*]From various authors, [i]Hellblazer[/i] - A lot of the authors I mention here have had runs on Hellblazer. The theme of the books changes depending on who writes, but the adventures of John Constantine are full of dark humor and film noir style mystery.[*]Mike Carey's [i]Lucifer[/i] - Sympathy for the Devil?
