It's been around for a while, but I still recommend The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft.

There aren't any LGBT characters (unless you count Lovecraft as a closet case, which, I always have), and there is only one volume.
Still, it's a very good read.

And, I know you said you're not really into manga style, but I just wouldn't feel right not mentioning Tsutomu Nihei's books, particularly Blame! or Biomega.
They're very sci-fi, so if that's not your thing, you may want to steer clear. IMO, the artwork alone is worth checking out.

I only recently acquired these books. Wow I really love them, especially Strange Tales! In addition to Bizarro World is Bizarro Comics.

I got 2 of the Solo series which I dig. I got Paul Pope and Teddy Kristiansen. They're good but not nearly as exciting.

One series that excited me quite a bit was 1996's Batman Black and White. It has all of the cutting edge comics creators of the time in it. I'm a sucker for those avant-garde artists so I really loved that DC hired people like Tony Salmons, Liberatore, Jose Munoz, and Kevin Nowlan.

I've been going back and looking for work from my favorite creators of these volumes. As a result I've discovered Tony Salmons' The Strange Adventures of H. P. Lovecraft, Steven T. Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen's It's a Bird, Farel Dalrymple's Omega The Unknown and Pop Gun War, Dash Shaw's Body World, and of coarse Paul Pope's 100% and Batman Year 100.

I got Strange Tales in single issue format but later I wondered if they have any cool extras in the TPB like a sketchbook section. There was So much cool stuff in this book! It was so daring, much more so than Bizarro Worlds.

If anyone has read the 3 volumes of Batman Black and White, are the 2nd and 3rd volumes as good as the 1st?
Are they worth getting?
