recommend graphic novels in the vein of watchmen

Maybe you would be interested in other works by Alan Moore. In that case you should try Lost Girls.

i drink my own pee

Grendal series is pretty good, and all the Sandman graphic novels are a must read.

The Sandman

For literary comics, you can't do better than Gaiman's Sandman. Maus is up there, too, if you like history and/or anthropomorphism.

If you're looking for something that's smart and gritty, you'll like Warren Ellis. Among Ellis' works, I recommend Transmetropolitan and Global Frequency above the rest. Also great but perhaps less relevant: FreakAngels (available free online) and The Authority.

Also of note: Garth Ennis' Preacher. Grant Morrison's The Invisibles. Alan Moore is of course a genius, but he's already been recommended throughout this thread.

V for Vendetta, Sandman, Preacher. Those four are some of my favorites. If you want something more comical then Johnny The Homocidal Maniac and/or Squee.
