American Comic/Graphic Novelists that are superrad -
Jeffrey Brown (try Clumsy)
Seth (It's A Good Life If you don't weaken)
Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan...)
Adrian Tomine -as stated above
Art Speigelman (Maus/Raw Magazine)
Charles Burns (Skin Deep/Black Hole)
The Hernandez Bros (Love & Rockets!!)
Craig Thompson (Blankets/Goodbye Chunky Rice)
... and my personal favourite, Farel Dalrymple (Pop Gun War!)
also I just finished reading Night Fisher by a Hawaiian guy called R. Kikuo Johnson which was pretty good. basically if you go the Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly websites you will find pretty much all good stuff there.
Also, if yr in Britain (or if you can get yr hands on it) there's an ace comic magazine that comes out twice a year called Sturgeon White Moss, which has so much good stuff in it, Archer Prewitt, Alexander Tucker, Tom Gauld, Daniel Johnston, Jeffrey Lewis, Sophie Crumb, etc etc etc....
