Graphite is made up of sheets of conjugated aromatic benzene rings. If you consider the structures of dye molecules, you will see that the more conjugated a dye molecule is, the higher the extinction coefficient. Graphite is in effect the ultimate conjugated organic system; it has unlimited pi electrons to absorb light. So Graphite absorbs all light, however reflects none.
