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."
openComics 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.
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 KorodzikopenJudge Dredd story where he fights the Devil. In rhyme. Print Comic
I'm looking for a particular Judge Dredd story which I assume was in an issue of 2000 AD. It would have appeared in the late 80s or early 90s.
I think it is Christmas story. In it, Judge Dredd confronts the Devil (I think on Christmas Eve) and winds up defeating him and arresting him for the crim of 'sin'. At the end of the poem, it is revealed that the Devil is held in Cell 666. The narration and dialogue is told in the form of a poem.
Anyone know where this story appeared?
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.
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!
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.

openDonald Duck plays a fantasy table top war game Print Comic
I'm looking for a rather specific Donald Duck comic. I know I've read it in a Lustiges Taschenbuch (which means the story was most likely made by someone from Italy/Scandinavia), probably in the early 2010s.
I think that it involved Donald's miniatures (an army of skeletons) and those of Huey, Dewey & Louie (orcs, humans and... elves, I think) coming to life because he painted them with some weird chemicals. The combined armies then lay siege to Duckburg.
I know that sounds pretty stupid, but I just can't get it out of my head.
openBreaking Bones to Cast Magic Print Comic
I believe this was a manga, but it might have been a western comic, with a manga inspired style. All I really remember was it taking place in a world where you had to sacrifice part of yourself to cast magic. The main image I have is of a character breaking their finger bones to cast a spell.
resolved (SOLVED) Graphic novel about teenage girl w/ depression Print Comic
The front cover was all black and all it had was the title, the author's name, and a picture of the main character. She had brown hair, a green sweatshirt, and bags under her eyes.
She was in middle school (high school?) and all I remember was that she would enact self-harm by cutting scars into her arms.
The art was also very simplistic.
Edited by TropeFanaticFanopenThe one with a city of lemmings Print Comic
What is the name of one of the featured comics in the Flight
anthology series, which takes place in a World of Funny Animals? It featured a city inhabited by lemmings of some sort where citizens must travel along set paths on the ground, and deviating from those paths — regardless of circumstance— is punished with death: being dumped in a dungeon with a clear exit to the outside world, which lemmings are psychologically unable to go through because there are no set paths leading out of the dungeon.

openTrying to find a comic Print Comic
I'm trying to find a comic I read some years ago that I can't recall the title of. It was about a group of girls living in a coastal town with a secret(some kind of treasure) history type of local legend. One of the girls who works at a local tourist trap about the treasure gets mugged in relation to the treasure. The cover of the first issue was the girls with the group mascot a german shepard with the town in the background.
openHorror Comic about a cursed horseshoe Print Comic
I have vague memories of reading a summary on the wiki of a horror comic revolving around a cursed horseshoe which makes its bearers immortal while giving them terrible luck and can't be discarded. I can't find it on any relevant trope pages like Clingy McGuffin, Immortality Inducer, Fate Worse than Death, etc
Nevermind, found it by looking at Clingy McGuffin's related page. It's Home Sick Pilots, which doesn't appear to have been crosswicked at all
Edited by LibraryseraphopenSci-fi story where a girl gets roped into a space adventure. Print Comic
Trying to remember about what this comic was called I read many years ago. I remember some bits of it. It was a sci-fi comic (or graphic novel?) about a girl that gets roped into a space adventure. Also has a guy with a peg-leg and an R2-D2 trash can looking robot.
I remember one scene that has a building monster that gets defeated by a toothbrush falling into it's mouth.
open(Solved quickly) In what page of PS238 does Victor Von Fogg turn the mayor into a lamp? Print Comic
So, I recently learned about PS 238 and heard that there was a part where one villain turned the mayor into a lamp. I know it's somewhere in issues 46 to (I think) 51, but I don't have the time to read them all. Can anyone find that part for me?
Edited by sRAMrelevratopenWhat's the name of the comic where Mickey and Goofy meets Gustave Eiffel Print Comic
I have a Mickey Mouse/Mickey & Goofy comic on my mind, and I was hoping someone could help me identify it. It's about Mickey/Mickey & Goofy, when they travel back in time to meet Gustave Eiffel.
They used a time machine created (probably) by Dr./Professor Spike Marlin. But when they arrived and met Gustave, it turned out that Gustave did not really want to build a tower, but a rocket launch. But in the end it became a tower anyway, a tower he hoped would reach the moon.
I also remember Gustave's wife, a domestically powerful and dominant woman who was negative about his ideas. But I don't remember much more about her. By the way, I read the series in Swedish, and hope to find it in the same language. Although it was likely published in Italian or English, and later dubbed to Swedish. Finding it in any language would be a start at least!
By the way, I shouldn't be surprised if this comic is a part of "The Time Machine" series, by Massimo De Vita.
If you know anything about this series, such as the title, paperback / newspaper issue it was included in, I would be extremely grateful, as I have been looking for it for a long time.
Thanks you!

It involved a segment where the triplets become fat, lazy couch potatoes. I saw it once while at a bookstore, but I can't remember the name of that particular comic.
