One of only three comics you really need to read before you die, along with watchmen and DKR, IMO

That's fine, Although I was surprised that no-one else had put it down too!
Anyway, at least you've read Watchmen, which is more than I can say for most people.
BTW, don't know if this would interest you, but Dc released a killer book called 'DC Universe: The Stories of Alan Moore'.
It's got some of his best shorter stories in it.
Here's the cover...

It's a two parter, originally printed in Detective Comics called 'Night Olympics'.
It's quite gritty, but terribly short.
