None of them have the influence of Watchmen. Watchmen, in parallel with Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, are the two works most responsible for the reinvigoration of the comic superhero.

Did you read the article? It's not an exaggeration to say that Watchmen has been influential across media.

Maus is a hell of a thing (so's Persepolis for that matter). V for Vendetta is just another Alan Moore. Blankets? I used to get paid to write graphic novels and I had to look it up.
