While we're on the subject of regressive pleasures: If you have any fondness for Marvel comics of the eighties, get your mitts on a copy of Neil Gaiman's comic novel 1602, which is a reimagined version of the Marvel Universe in the England of that year. Nick Fury of SHIELD, for instance, is Queen Elizabeth's spymaster.
I'm only ten pages in and I love it.
The writing is great, the art is great, and the inking is... they call it digital painting, so I assume it was Photoshopped, but it obviously has a very human style and touch to it. To my untrained eyes it's spectacular. This is the sort of project I wish someone could talk you into doing as a collaboration.
And Gaiman's The Books of Magic, though more lightweight as a story, is similarly well-written and completely engaging to me visually.
