openSome black and white fantasy comic that ran in an Australian kids magazine around 2005-2008 Print Comic
I think it ran in either Krash or K-Zone. I think the title started with an A, but I'm not sure. There were three main characters: a roguish man who was also a coward; a warrior woman; and a ditzy princess-like girl. I remember one issue where the ditzy girl got mad at the guy and said, "I'm going over here!" Then some creature started giving advice to the guy, misunderstanding that they were a couple. I think in a different one the guy was tied up for some reason, and the warrior woman was getting directions to some dangerous place, and the guy did a double take when he realised they were going to that place.
openComic, Donald duck vs electric eels Print Comic
I don't remember many details, but I remember some parts of the story. Donald and his nephews was going away, maybe on holifay ir away from Uncle Scrooge, but the latter didn't appear in this comic. However, the island/resort they stayed at, had no/little electricity, which bothered Donald. I think there was only one power generator, and since this island was very hot, Donald didn't have enough electricity to power his fan and cooling system, among other things. But electric eels lived nearby, in local water. The people didn't bother them, because they didn't have equipment to capture them nor to protect themselves from getting shocked. But Donald tried to capture them, failing every time. I don't remember all his methods but I remember his last, ultimate fail. He'd purchased a drivers suit which resisted electricity. But once he got into the water, he teared a small hole in his suit, by accident. He thought nothing of it since it was so small, but when he came closer to the eels, a tiny fish swam into his suit. It might've been a fish he brought (in a jar or something) as bait, but either way, the eels chased it, and went inside his suit too. They shocked him for the umpteenth time, and Donald fled to shore. But he kept the suit on, the eels kept shocking him and he ran straight into the power generator and ruined the islands only electricity resource. And after that, Donald and his nephews quickly cleared off, with some very angry villagers on their tails. I don't remember much, but plenty. But I don't remember the title, which is the most important bit really. So if anyone knows about this comic, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!
openComic about a guy trying to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend Print Comic
So for a while now I've been trying to remember the name of this comic/graphic novel/what have you where a guy and his girlfriend move into an old house and the girlfriend gets kidnapped by dragons from another world and the guy goes in to save her, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I think its title started with an A? I believe it was French, too.
openA Batman (?) comic from the 90's/2000's Print Comic
When I was a kid — so, sometime in the 90's or the very early 2000's — I caught a glimpse of a comic someone was reading. It was likely a Batman comic (I'm like 95% sure). (EDIT: To be clear, it was a Polish translation of the comic, so it was likely to be at least a few months or a few years later than the original English release.)
The scene I remember took place in a masquerade ball. One of the participants, a masked guy dressed as a devil, suddenly starts screaming and collapses. A doctor who happens to be present removes the devil mask, only to reveal that the guy's face is terribly burnt by acid, much to everyone's horror. There then follows a brooding narration (from Batman himself?) that the villain responsible for this had impregnated the mask with acid which was released after a delay.
There was another scene I remember, although I'm not sure if it was from the same comic: a series of wordless panels where, at night, the Batmobile (?) comes across a screaming baby sitting in the middle of a lonely road.
Edited by KorodzikopenComics about a teenage girl Print Comic
1. She asks for her mother to oranges to put into her lunch... so that she can put them into her bra. Later, when she's playing soccer, they fall out, much to her embarrassment.
2. A scene that parodies Mean Girls has her, ahem, slamming the Slam Book right into the trash.
openFamous Marvel Quotes Print Comic
So I'm editing the Marvel 2099 page, and I'm currently looking up a whole bunch of quotes in 2099 Alpha to add in the Mythology Gag section. I recognised some of them and was able to find some others, but what is the source of these?
"For all your work... Your dedication... We failed!"
"But I am not lucky enough to forget forever."
"A part of me will always be with you."
"Somehow... I thought it would mean more."
"To help those who would distrust us if they knew of our existence."
"There's much good we can do."
resolved Horror Comic with Grotesque Girl (SOLVED) Print Comic
This one's actually kinda famous, but I can't really find it online since I don't know the magazine that ran the story:
A man's hunting in the woods when he sees another man with an axe, about to chop off the head of a young girl - she seems to be attractive, but there's a bag over her head. He kills the guy and saves her, takes the bag off to find out she's hideously disfigured.
Still, he takes her home and treats her well despite her appearance. At first, his family is supportive, but she starts acting agressive. One night, she forces herself on the guy. The family abandons him, saying he's obsessed with the monster. The grotesque girl ruins the man's life.
In the end, he takes her to the woods to chop her head, and ends up being killed by another hunter.
It's a black and white horror comic, probably from the seventies or early eighties. Around 16 pages.
Edited by Mac_RopenLooking for help identifying an obscure character Print Comic
Asked this in Ask the Tropers by mistake first. I was reading information pertaining to Grant Morrison recently and it was referencing all the forms he has taken in various comics written by both himself and others. I unexpectedly had the topic come up again today in a conversation and was looking up a piece of information I had noticed. There was reference to (if I remember correctly) a Silver Age DC Comics time traveler that looked like Grant Morrison in his signature look years before he had adopted it. This isn't the Invisibles or anything since it wasn't by Morrison. It was just a weird coincidence someone was noting. Now, I know most time travelling characters across various publishers and I just can't place who this might actually be. It was either someone stretching what they thought or something I just haven't found through any cursory searching. I have a set of links from the day I saw that but I'll dig through all of it to find the answer. Was just seeing if there was a more expedient way of digging this up however. Now, is there anyone who might have any idea what I may be talking about?
openDid Flash Gordon ever went to a giant bugs planet? Print Comic
I use to read the Flash Gordon comic strip in my local paper, and I'm almost sure there was an arch were he was in a planet full of giant insects including ants, bees, spiders and the like. But I havn't been able to confirm this in any source. Does any one else remember it or was another pulp sci fi strip with the same plot that I'm confusing?
openZombie Comic Print Comic
I remember an one-shot story, part of an anthology (not sure if it was an all-zombie anthology or just horror), about a Zombie Apocalypse, and the main guy riding in a sports car with two swords to find the magical cure. I don't remember if he had a brother. In the end, he goes down an underground passage into a cave that's incredibly spacious, with lots of bridges with No OSHA Compliance in full effect. He meets a magical girl, wearing a robe, who either gives him the cure or helps him in his adventure.
The comic was in color, it might've been british, with a somewhat simplistic, cartoony artstyle - but it's not ZombieWorld, which was what I assumed it was before reading it.
openCharacter who adds 'p' to everything. Print Comic
I have a vague recollection of a comic strip I read in the 80s (I'm pretty sure it was a reprint of something considerably older though). The main character is drawn funny, with huge jowls and vague features; everyone else looks normal, about Blondie level of detail. The protagonist has a speech impediment and pstarts pwords pwith a p. The plotline in this set of strips was rhat someone was breakin tnto the bank and leaving things in the safe no one could identify. A fat cop asked the protagonist for help, and he said it was him, leaving gifts. What are they? Pickled pkumquats.
openLooking for a Disney comic Print Comic
Hello, I am looking for some comic featuring Mickey were he get's some mysterious book by a homeless person on the beach, a book which sends him to an alternate world when read. Additionally, he also comes across a mysterious sword that Only the Chosen May Wield, in this case him. The story itself mostly takes place on the mountain tops of the world where crews commandeer flying ships. There is also a character that looks almost exactly like Mickey, but missing his tail and has an eyepatch. He lost said tail due to the legend of the sword stipulating one and the current ruler removed it to make sure he wouldn't be the one. It was a series of stories that formed a complete whole. Also, I think that we might have a page for it here at Tv Tropes even though I can't find it, but I'm sure I stumbled across it some years ago.

openFrozen Body thawed in dystopic future Print Comic
I remember this short story, black and white comic (I assumed it was written by Alan Moore, but can't find it in his works) about a man who froze himself getting thawed in the distant future, where corporations rule supreme. The scientists/soldiers are talking about what to do with him since he's old and confused, and end up deciding to kill him (for biomatter?) since he's useless. The last panels reveal the Cruel Twist Ending - he's drawing Mickey Mouse. The "useless" man is Walt Disney himself.
openCleats Print Comic
I remember that it was about these kids who love to play sports and it was created by Bill Hinds who also draws Buzz Beamer for Sports Illustrated.
openFantasy Comic I Can't Quite Place Print Comic
I was reading something. I feel it was in the last 6 or so months but it may have come from before that. It was fantasy, but it felt high fantasy because I remember portals, an airship and I'm pretty sure the city the adventuring party ended up at was surrounded by a big magical barrier bubble. Anyone have any clue what this may have been?
openA comic that was available on Playstation Network Print Comic
Anyone know this comic? The first issue was free on PSP circa 2009-2011. It was about a young black girl in the American south.
openFrench post-apocalypse adventure for kids (solved) Print Comic
There was this Franco-Belgian comic in English translation that I found at the library, years ago. It was drawn in a typical kids' comic style, like Spirou et Fantasio.
The plot is about how a group of kids—fiveish children—one day discover that the city they live in is completely emptied of people. It was several books long.
Edited by MichaelKatsuroopenWeird manga Print Comic
Okay, there was this manga book I saw in a store the other day. It was one of the new releases. It was named something like "Yusaku Kanari Girls Gallery" or something like that. That's not the actual name in the title, but the point is that it was [Manga creator name]'s Girl [Noun] And the seller told me it was pretty risqué—"the closest thing to hentai manga that we sell," he said.

A Marvel Comics and X-Men superhero who can tear off her own skin to reveal metal underneath.
