History EyeScream / ComicBooks

*** In ''ComicBook/TheFallOfDeadworld', Part 2, a young Judge-Tutor Sidney De'ath (aka Judge Death) is shown "building morale" among a bunch of cadets (hinted to be the other three Dark Judges) by mutilating them, one by scooping out the kid's eye with a spoon.

* The unnamed antagonist of ''ComicBook/{{Shadoweyes}}'' is missing an eye. This isn’t entirely clear (due to PeekABangs) until the very last page, when we see her full face. The fact that the empty socket is mostly covered in scar tissue ''does not help''.

* EyeScream/TheDCU
* EyeScream/MarvelUniverse

* The fifth issue of the first ''ComicBook/GIJoeVsTheTransformers'' miniseries has Starscream get slashed in his left optic by Snake-Eyes.
* Frequently featured in Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/GiveMeLiberty''.
* A RunningGag in ''ComicBook/TheGoon''. One of Franky's favorite moves is "KNIFE TO THE EYE!".
** Also played straight with [[spoiler: the Zombie Priest, who plucked one of his eyes out, then crushed it to a pulp and fed it to the zombie of a pregnant woman to turn her into [[MookMaker Mother Corpse]], due to his zombie army being decimated and [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier The Buzzard]] having settled into the graveyard, preventing him from making more. Later, he gets the remaining one gouged out by the Indian man]].

* Chaos & Control [[http://i43.tinypic.com/k55wjo.jpg]] from ''ComicBook/TheSavageDragon'' would hardly be as memorable without the Eye Scream. For those too squeamish to look, Chaos is a big, horned monster. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Control]] is a little guy who controls it by sticking its horns into the sphincters he has where his eyes should be.

* In ‘’ComicBook/{{Spawn}}’’ Spawn shoves a shard of metal into Overtkill’s eye.

* Not as gruesome as the above examples, but in Devil's Due's ''ComicBook/GIJoeVsTheTransformers'', Snake-Eyes confronts Starscream, who badly burned Snake-Eyes' face and cost him his voice the last time they crossed paths. Snake-Eyes gets his revenge by slashing open Starscream's optic and shoving a live grenade into the open socket.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Zero}}'' Carlyle shoves glass in Zero's eye. He just has a hole there now (or in 2018 a glass eye).

* [[KnightOfCerebus Wily Pete]] of ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'' has found that, since he is a walking body of flame, only one part of the human anatomy lasts long enough for him to get his jollies. And one wonders why Thugboy has some issues. Even if you somehow survived this, his load slowly boils your brain.

* Kay from ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'' can see every evil thing somebody has ever done. Going by what trope this is, you can probably guess his means of dealing.... And since he's a Fable, his eyes keep growing back, and he keeps cutting them out.

* In a particularly memorable ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' story arc, three of John Constantine's children (The result of a DealWithTheDevil) set about destroying John's life, systematically killing his friends, family, and any and all of his remaining allies, John is brought to his knees by their use of HIS methods. It seems like John's met his match in them. When he finally regains his [[MagnificentBastard Magnificence]] it is [[http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hellblazer2112005mendaxgw5.jpg illustrated]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome by extinguishing his still-lit cigarette in his son's eye and telling him to "Let the grown-ups talk"]].

* [[GodOfEvil Anathos]] inflict this to [[ActionGirl Shimy]] in ComicBook/LesLegendaires by burning ''and'' piercing her eyes with a FlamingSword. Because [[DisproportionateRetribution he didn't like the way she was looking at him]].

* Not as gruesome as the above examples, but in Devil's Due's ''Franchise/GIJoe vs. The {{Transformers}}'', Snake-Eyes confronts Starscream, who badly burned Snake-Eyes' face and cost him his voice the last time they crossed paths. Snake-Eyes gets his revenge by slashing open Starscream's optic and shoving a live grenade into the open socket.
* ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo: In the Treasure of the Mother of Mountains story arc, Usagi fights an oversized thug. Usagi manages to gouge the thug's left eye before the thug's buddies overwhelm him and take him prisoner. They continue to trade eye-related insults for the rest of the storyline until Usagi escapes from imprisonment, the thug tries to take him down-and Usagi intentionally slashes out the thug's right eye and leaves him there instead of striking a finishing blow.

!!The following have their own pages:

* In ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'' the Governor suffers a particularly vicious torture fest, including having one of his eyes dug out with a spoon. Later [[spoiler:he's shot in the back of the head, which pushes his other eye out.]]

** Carl gets shot in the eye which also somehow manages to blow off '''''half of his head'''''.

** And during War in the Sun, Jesse Custer loses his left eye entirely - [[spoiler:God tears it out with his teeth]].

* One of the creepier villains of ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' was The Corinthian, a nightmarish serial killer who escaped from The Dreaming and had toothed mouths in his eye sockets. He feasted on the eyes of his victims. (There's a different kind of eye squick entirely in a different scene -- where his shades get knocked off in a struggle and his additional sockets ''bite the fingers off'' one of his attackers. Oh, Lord.)
** For added eyeball trauma, there was the issue where Doctor Destiny used Morpheus' dream ruby to control the patrons of a diner and eventually drove a teenage girl to stick skewers in her eyes. "I can see the glory!"
*** As the Sandman Companion points out, nearly every issue has some Eye Scream moment in some form. Gaiman admits being overly fond of/disturbed by the trope.
** The Corinthian's own personal spinoff, ''Death In Venice'', has less of this trope than you'd expect. Still, high points include the Russian soldier who the Corinthian swaps an eye with, [[spoiler: who gouges out ''both'' his own eyes afterward, desperate to get rid of the realization of what the future of his revolution held, and still can't stop seeing it]], and Amedeo being [[spoiler: possessed, body-switched, ''something'' with the Corinthian and suddenly beginning bleeding copiously from the eyes, as the eye-mouths begin to grow in.]]
* Chaos & Control [[http://i43.tinypic.com/k55wjo.jpg]] from ''ComicBook/TheSavageDragon'' would hardly be as memorable without the Eyescream. For those too squeamish to look, Chaos is a big, horned monster. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Control]] is a little guy who controls it by sticking its horns into the sphincters he has where his eyes should be.

Generally speaking, this trope used to be common in 1950s and earlier horror comics. [[MoralGuardians Frederic Wertham's]] infamous ''Seduction of the Innocent'' described and probably named the "Injury to the Eye" motif, giving examples from comics of the time.
* Dick Ayers was inordinately fond of eyeballs flying from heads in the horror comics he illustrated for Eerie Publications (not to be confused with the comic ''Eerie'', from Warren Publications) in the 1960s and '70s.
