Well... the graphic novel format is very young, so there isn't exactly a huge backlog to recommend. If you're looking for more "10 volumes of good", then there's always Sandman, Y: The Last Man, the Alan Moore series (Tom Strong, Promethea, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Top 10... well, actually, those are only three to six volumes), and Sin City, I guess.
I also find Lone Wolf and Cub to be an excellent read (if somewhat reptitive - I honestly can't recall what the differences between volumes are), but I'm having trouble expanding my collection as they're mostly out of print. Specifically, I can't find volumes 12 and 13 anywhere, meaning I'm stuck for now. I should mention that they're printed western style. I have no idea how they made that work.
And, of course, if you don't mind "limited" series, there's always the Alan Moore ""top three": From Hell (very graphic, both in gore and sex), V For Vendetta, and of course his absolute masterpiece, Watchmen. Awesome.
Frank Miller also has some good non-Sin City stuff, namely Ronin, The Dark Knight Returns and, of course, the one and only Batman: Year One. The Dark Knight Strikes Again? What's that?
(Should mention I almost spleled "Watchmen" as "Watchmane"... Huh.)
