* TheReveal of the identity of the Anti-Christ in ''2009'' might resonate stronger with modern audiences, but ''The Black Dossier'' is no slouch for older readers, or people with knowledge of older pop culture. Imagine growing up reading a series about adventurous school boys, only to see your childhood favorites in this series instituting a fascist, genocidal government, namely ''Ingsoc'' from ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''. The likeable Harry Wharton, once top student and TheAce of the ''Greyfriars'' books, is in fact the monstrous Big Brother, with the once-cheerful and boisterous Bob Cherry as his Dragon. Or, as you might otherwise know him, [[Film/TheThirdMan Harry Lime]]...

* The dead bodies fused to the remains of the train in ''Century 2009'', to say nothing of the flashback panels to the events of the massacre that caused that. It's a testament to the skills of Creator/AlanMoore and Kevin O'Neill as artists that it's so effective in what it portrays.

* Griffin's death, while well-deserved, is gruesome as hell. Hyde is jovially talking at dinner when Nemo notices small drops of blood on Hyde's shirt. Then the stains get bigger and bigger until he's covered in the stuff. We never find out the details, but given that it was enough to drive Nemo into a murderous rage, then it's definitely for the best.
** What did Mr. Hyde do to Griffin? Well, after finding out Griffin sided with the Martians and beat Mina within an inch of her life, he decided to rape him to death as revenge!

Then the stains get bigger and bigger until he's covered ''covered'' in the stuff. We never find out stuff, as is a good stretch of the details, but given tablecloth. When the horrified guests ask what's going on, Hyde reveals to them what we already know; that it was enough to drive Nemo into a murderous rage, then it's definitely for the best.

We never find out the details of what Hyde did, but given that the sight of Griffin's body was enough to drive Nemo into a murderous rage (plus the fact that, even after losing a ''colossal'' amount of blood, Griffin took several hours to die) then it's definitely for the best.
