I have been a comic book fan for a long time, however my transition to graphic novels came in the late 80's with the publication of "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller. I believe it is an important work because it bridged the gap between childish comic book fantasy and serious adult graphic fiction. It opened up the medium for serious and controversial topics to be more fully addressed and realized in graphic form.
