Vaughn Bode, Erotica: Bottomwarp scripture
CLAMP, Chobits: Manga. Exploring the possibility of relationships between cute computers and humans. Also an anime series.
Warren Ellis, Transmetropolitan:
[Hunt Emerson]: did (perhaps still does?) a comic in the Fortean Times. A few of his other comics are online - check out [Mouth City] and [Max Zillion].
Phil Foglio, Buck Godot:
Phil Foglio, Xxxenophile: Short stories about imaginative, shameless sf/fantasy sex... with the definite sense of each being part of a larger story.
Michel Gagne, The Towers of Numar:
Neil Gaiman, Sandman
Lea Hernandez, Cathedral Child:
Hitoshi Tomizawa, Alien Nine: Disturbingly cute yet gory tale of schoolgirls fighting aliens with frog-head hat symbiotes that shoot out long drill-bits. Creeping loss of humanity and mind-control.
Hitoshi Tomizawa, [Milk Closet]: Surreal dimension-hopping. Children undergo bizarre transformations and symbiote-hybridization to fight insectoids.

-- Alright can somebody tell me what is going on in this manga? It's ultra confusing, but the imagery is so captivating! Are they translating it properly? -- Relee

: This comic seens to follow Alien Nine's similar habit of presenting an absolutely bizarre situation and only slowly revealing the things behind the curtain. I have a commercially translated Alien Nine that's still not easy to understand without considerable reflection, though I couldn't verify its translation quality myself. -- Grace
: I <3 the Orca-symbiotes. They are quite cute. -- Zoe

Matt Howarth, Those Annoying Post Brothers: The dark, evil, sadistic take on post-mortality. Set in an endless city known as Bugtown.
Matt Howarth, Savage Henry: Another series set in Bugtown and numerous other realities, where whimsey and creativity are the dominant intent, rather than chaos.
Michael Kaluta, Starstruck: this comic is largely responsible for OR's robot fetish
Walt Kelly, Pogo: I admirundumbrated his notional admittance for the creation of words. And he's an important influence on Zoe (Early influence on my art, quite possibly one of the reasons I got into drawing animal people in the first place. -Twin)
Talis Kimberley, "Zen Zebras" (from Wild Side #2-4):
[Kishiro Yukito], Battle Angel Alita, Dystopian science fiction manga with an Upwarp-esque society in a floating city, aloof from the Downwarp-esque city that thrives on their refuse. Features cyborgs, mad scientists, perverse bioengineering, and flan. Also, Aqua Knight, a bright fantasy-adventure manga with deeper themes underlying. Excellent inspirational material for the Ocean and the Victorian Retrotech Collective.
Michael Manning, The Spider Garden, Hydrophidian, In A Metal Web: Hard-core decorative discipline. Latex, rubber, insectile sex robots. Strong influence on Top and the Chitin Queens.
Carla Speed McNeil, [Finder]. Far but familiar future with so many odd concepts wandering through the background. Anthro lions, centaurs, giant domed cities, live-in amusement parks, television kudzu, and so on. One of the best stories stars an entire virtual world hosted in one man's mind, and the nightmare that starts to mutilate his subscribers.
Grant Morrison, The Invisibles: [[Also Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on A Serious Earth Bringing his concepts of Implicate and Explicate reality again and just what is real to batman. And The Filth and hus run of Animal Man Zoe)
