What are your favourite silent comics?

I was posting the preview to R.I.P.: Best of 1985-2004 when I had this question.

To tell a story with dialogue is hard enough. To tell one without dialogue is even harder.

Silent comics are, I think, pretty rare. Some that come to my mind are:

I know there's a Moebius comic which starts and ends with a bird (possibly crow or eagle) flying. Can't remember the name though. Another one from Moebius which isn't strictly a comic would be 40 Days dans le Désert B.

What silent comics have you read and which are your favourites?

the arrival is absolutely amazing! i dont know that many comics, let alone silent ones, but that one was the first thing to come to my mind with how amazing it is.
