Both are about 10 volumes each, though. For stuff with anti-heroes (not sure if they'd exactly be called superheroes) you could check out Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, the aforementioned Punisher (PunisherMax is probably the most famous) or any of Mike Mignola's Hellboy material. I'm sure you're already fully aware of the really famous ones like Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but on the off chance that you're not then they're obviously essentials. Oh, and V for Vendetta obviously.
I always keep meaning to read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen so I'll give that a go. Transmetropolitan (now I know where you EA username is from)Hellblazer, Swamp Thing and Y the Last Man look pretty good so I'll try them.
Are you into anything like Ghost World/Maus/Palestine?
I read Maus many years back and literally just bought Palestine last week. Going to read it and I'll try to get Footnotes in Gaza as well if I can find it here. I know of Ghost World but I've never read it. I don't know if you've heard of Persepolis but that's another one that has strong political undertones which I've read. I really disliked it, though.
