Looking for a particular type of story

[colouredclouds]

Hi, I read comics and I'm very interested in cosmic embodiments/entities and their discovery/relationships on the human world etc.

Ive read most of the comic stuff which I think deals with that: Eternals, Sandman, Promethea, and I'm interested in characters like Eternity/Galactus but Marvel storylines don't really explore that side of the entity.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any book suggestions to something along those lines?

I know I mentioned Promethea/Sandman but I would prefer it to be more cosmic/spacey

I'm new to sci-fi books and at the moment I've just started the Lensman saga but so far it seems to be more like humans in space ships (which isn't a bad thing, but as you can tell, not what I'm looking for)

Suggestions are very welcome!

Dan Simmons' Olympos
Zelazny's Lord of Light

Are the first two that spring to mind.

Try Gilgamesh the King by Robert Silverberg -- it would make a great graphic novel.
