I haven't read all of them, or even enough to give more than a general description, but I really enjoy Storm whenever I read one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_(Don_Lawrence) Astronaut flies into some anomaly, returns a few hundred years later to a post-apocalyptic Earth. Not the most original story, but I really dug the art since it reminded me of those gorgeous Chris Foss scifi covers.   The one that stuck with me the most was the Von Neumann Machine where they investigate the titular machine and find (I don't remember how) a life-size replica of Dante's Inferno built underground. They have to traverse it, walking over frozen lakes with the legs of liars sticking out, enormous demons guarding gates, etc. It was amazing. The Incal was already mentioned, but I thought The Metabarons was way better and definitely a classic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabarons  The story follows multiple generations of Metabarons, unstoppable warriors who have such improbable powers that they single-handedly destroy entire spaceship armadas. It would have been easy to turn this into a mindless action spectacle, but the story itself very much follows the pattern of Greek epos, dealing way more with telling legends than just showing fights. There is still a lot of gorgeous violence, but it has so much more to it. If you've seen Jodorowsky's Dune (if you haven't, what is wrong with you?) this is a very enjoyable experience, because all those ideas he failed to put to film were poured into The Metabarons instead.
