History UncannyValley / Comics

* ScottMcCloud's ''Making Comics'' had a few pages of faces showing various basic facial expressions as a guide to how that kind of thing works. And they were creepy as hell.

* Beautie from ''AstroCity'' fits this trope; she is a living, life sized Barbie doll, so it makes sense.

* As good as Sara Pichelli's work in UltimateSpiderMan is, the artwork can sometimes fall into this with the extreme detail of the facial expressions.

* In 1970s MarvelComics, this was ComicBook/{{Spider-Woman}}'s shtick; her comic's tagline was "To Know Her Is To Fear Her!" She is, biologically, literally part spider, and was raised by PettingZooPeople and [[BeastMan Beast Men]] to boot. When she finally enters the human world, nearly everyone is instantly, instinctively afraid of her, making it extremely hard for her to find work or shelter, and leaving her terribly alone. Still, through tremendous effort, she eventually overcomes this and makes a good life for herself, making for a very inspiring [[CharacterDevelopment character arc]]. However, ExecutiveMeddling later [[PutOnABus put her on a bus]] for twenty years, and when she was finally brought back into the limelight, this whole aspect of her origin was {{retcon}}ned away.
* Scott [=McCloud's=] ''Making Comics'' had a few pages of faces showing various basic facial expressions as a guide to how that kind of thing works. And they were creepy as hell.

* Comic book artist Greg Land only ever draws a few default faces for his characters: orgasm and indifference for the females, and anger and orgasm for the males. It gets really annoying because he tends to use the same faces over and ''over'' again.

* The "Photorealistic" painted style of KingdomCome and {{Marvels}} falls into this sometimes, more so with the latter.

* Speaking of [[SlasherSmile creepy]] [[FrozenFace grins]], TheJoker. [[{{Batman}} Pretty]] [[{{DCAU}} much]] [[Film/TheDarkKnight every]] [[ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth single]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman incarnation]] [[UncannyValleyMakeup of]] [[MonsterClown the character]] ''is'' this trope.

* The tie-in comics for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' manage to fall into this, with only one vector per character that is subject to very miniscule changes, if any, based on emotion.

* Silent Hill: Sinner's Reward is guilty of this, too.

* Speaking of [[SlasherSmile creepy]] [[FrozenFace grins]], TheJoker, anyone? [[{{Batman}} Pretty]] [[{{DCAU}} much]] [[TheDarkKnightSaga every]] [[ArkhamAsylumASeriousHouseOnSeriousEarth single]] [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman incarnation]] [[UncannyValleyMakeup of]] [[MonsterClown the character]] ''is'' this trope. Actually, he's probably one of the better examples of the "Done On Purpose" variant of this trope, now that I think of it...
* FallOfCthulhu introduced a brand new character to Lovecraft's mythos: The Harlot, a [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]] and keeper of all men's secrets, whose giant green head houses a nose too flat and a pair of juicy red lips a little too big. She's a wonderful example of what a HumanoidAbomination would look if it took up burlesque fashion.
* Beautie from AstroCity fits this trope; she is a living, life sized Barbie doll, so it makes sense.

* This happens whenever [[TheFarSide Gary Larson]] draws humans.
** Actually, Larson makes his people cartoon-y enough to avoid problems. It's only when he tries to emulate the style of more serious cartoons (to parody them, usually) that they get creepy.

* Some of the earlier WinxClub comics have [[http://winxcomics.livejournal.com/181529.html#cutid1 hideous panels]], with an unhealthy side order of OffModel

* The [[TheyJustDidntCare painfully]] [[SoBadItsGood low-quality]] tie-in comics for WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic manage to fall into this, with only one vector per character that is subject to very miniscule changes, if any, based on emotion.

* [[MadMagazine Alfred E. Newman]]. Especially seeing his creepy grin pasted onto other popular culture icons.

* Any attempt to make ''ArchieComics'' realistic looking. They infamously [[http://www.toplessrobot.com/Jughead%20Redesign.jpg tried]] [[http://www.toplessrobot.com/Archie%20Header%20Image.jpg it]] out in the mid 2000s, only to get [[ItChangedNowItSucks completely negative reactions]].

* The original ''LittleOrphanAnnie'' comics feature horrific, pure white eyes utterly empty of soul or emotion, on every character, for no apparent reason.

* Some of the earlier WinxClub comics have [[http://winxcomics.livejournal.com/181529.html#cutid1 hideous panels]], with an unhealthy side order of OffModel

** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Hey, he has a completely seperate face for]] [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8cznth9Zi1qc8dsno1_500.jpg Ben Grimm!]]

* Quite a few mainstream comic publishers have been using [[http://poser.smithmicro.com/poser.html Poser]] for some of their comics. It always looks terrible.

* The "Photorealistic" painted style of KingdomCome and {{Marvels}} falls into this sometimes, more so with the later.

* This happens whenever [[TheFarSide Gary Larson]] draws humans.

Honestly, you'll get sick and tired of seeing those uglinesses.

* The caricatures from the 19th Century political satire magazine [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puck_%28magazine%29 Puck]] can come across as this, on account of the photo-realistic style.
