Best thing shouted whilst being killed in this weeks Battle Action Force from 1986 that I read on my lunchbreak.



You don't really get these exposition death screams in the Prog anymore. Stuff like "The teeth - biting me in two! Aaargh!". Part of me misses how clunky and terrible they are. What's the best / worst you can remember?
The Men in Black - Naaaaaahhh! is ridiculous on many levels.
This frame also has a classic AIEEEEEEE

(Best death in the comic that week is Parsons in HMS Nightshade. It's a classic.)

I'm sure there's some in Flesh, along the lines of 'it's... eating me alive', although I can't remember exactly

[Rome]

The most recent one I saw was in the t.v. series, Rome, I forget the episode. Some stuffy Roman numpty, in the act of being run through with a sword says, in a mildly put-out tone, "Sir - I really must protest..." and then dies. Made me groan and laugh at the same time (graugh?). It's not really expositional, though (except in demonstrating the upper-class Roman faith in law and decorum, perhaps), so probably doesn't count here.

Luckily, there's always the old standby, "No! No! Not the teeth!" Or whatever it was.

I do remember "Aiieee! Spider!" from the early Judge Dredd story You Bet Your Life.

The Al Ewing Mega Collection book is a really great collection. And he certainly had the tone down. But... he left. I mean, I'm sure he had good reasons, but his body of work is contained, finite and done. So, for me, while I enjoyed those tales, I'd place Niemand in a different space now. Not everything he writes land, but his hit rate for me is really impressive. And I hugely appreciate his seeming interesting and willingness in the smaller stories – not just massive epics or ongoing arcs designed to shake everything up.
