"YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo!" moments in ComicBooks.
----
* ''ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': The heroine does this to a captured vampire in the ''Wolves at the Gates'' Arc of season eight.
* ''ComicBook/DarthVaderDarkLordOfTheSith''. Darth Vader captures a family of bounty hunters who tried to kill him and threatens to kill their daughter unless they reveal who hired them. They're smart enough to insist that he let her go first, and make her swear that [[NothingPersonal she won't seek revenge]] for their inevitable deaths so that Vader won't regard her as a threat he has to hunt down and kill. She's a younger Chanath Cha, the bounty hunter from ''ComicBook/StarWarsLando'', so this is one deal he apparently decided to keep.
* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': In one Creator/CarlBarks comic, Magica [=DeSpell=] turns WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck and his nephews into animals (well... [[FurryConfusion non-anthropomorphic animals...]]) and says that she'll only turn them back if Scrooge gives her his [[NumberOneDime dime]]. Naturally, she doesn't.
* ComicBook/TheJoker does this constantly. Then again [[TooDumbToLive who would really trust the Joker in the first place?]]
* Happens in ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'', when a man helps the other three Dark Judges (y'know, the ones dedicated to extinguishing all life?) free Judge Death on the condition they don't kill his wife. Naturally, [[ILied "WE LIED!"]]
* ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'''s parody of ''Film/TheGodfatherPartII'' has Michael promise his sister that he'll never kill their brother Fredo, despite Fredo's treachery, while their mother is alive. Then he tells his consigliere to "put out a contract on Mom." Well, he didn't lie.
* ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel'': Invoked and inverted in an early issue where Ratchet does a deal with Megatron whereby Ratchet will help Megatron takes back control of the Decepticons from Shockwave in return for him surrendering control of the ''Ark'', where most of the other Autobots lie deactivated. In the end, Ratchet (falsely) tells Megatron he's fulfilled his side of the bargain, Megatron reveals he has no intention of fulfilling ''his'' and Ratchet reveals he's already prepared for that and has the Dinobots waiting in ambush.
* From ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'':
-->'''Tomoe:''' ''"You promised you would release Usagi if I turned myself over to you, Noriko!"''\\
'''Noriko:''' ''"Don't be an idiot."''
