* The life of Otto Sump. Widely-hated across Mega-City One for his horrific ugliness, to the point his own mother [[ParentalAbandonment tried to abandon him at birth]] (his father had run away screaming), he managed - despite everything - to put together something resembling a successful life. And then, in the storyline ''Citizen Sump'', he was murdered. ''[[OffingTheOffspring By his own mother]]'', who he'd gone to great lengths to try to help out. By the time Dredd solved the case, [[KarmaHoudini Mrs. Sump had passed away of old age]]. Otto's last word was [[Film/CitizenKane "Rosebud"]] - in his case, a call-back to a remembered childhood rhyme, "I've got a rosebud and mommy loves me".

In this case, his "rosebud" had been a new boil that appeared on his cheek one winter day during his childhood.
** Otto's last moments, and his genuine sorrow and confusion as his own mother kills him, with his final words stating that he loves her.
** His wife is one of the few that genuinely feel sad at his death - she didn't love him, she's honest about that, and she wasn't attracted to him, because she just couldn't get past his looks, but she did like him, because he was a good and kind man, and he didn't deserve what happened to him.
