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.)
The original run of Fiends of the Eastern Front, which was otherwise tremendous, has a few of these very clunky Show AND Tell moments. This is one of the worst

A retro-AIIIEEEEE! from Sinister Dexter in "The Gangbusters":

I do remember "Aiieee! Spider!" from the early Judge Dredd story You Bet Your Life.
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'm sure there's some in Flesh, along the lines of 'it's... eating me alive', although I can't remember exactly
Cover to prog 2 had 'aieeeeee its the thing from the hell planet'

Not in a comic, but from my old flatmate in my student days when I pretended to stab him: 'MY EYYYES! AND NOW MY BRAIIIN!'
I like the one in Cursed Earth part 5 where the plane crashes into Mount Rushmore and he screams "No!No! Not the teeth!"
