Who said it first - or great sayings attributed to comic books

[Boba]

What, me worry?

 

Classic

[Boba]

From a movie this time, not the comic, but a classic line just the same;

 

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the vimen."

 

 

Wasn't it included in the comic adaptation?

 

[ChicksCosmiComics]

 

Great Ceasers Ghost

 

Heavens to Mergatroid

 

To the Bat Cave

 

Hulk Smash

 

 

[Silver Surfer]

Shirley, 'It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman' counts as a great and famous

saying.

 

I'm also a fan of Stan's folksie 'face front true believer'.

 

 

 

Frickin classic.

[Boba]

"Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot"

 

I can visualize the frame this quote came from.

 

Classic MJ

[conditionfreak]

"You're good kid. But as long as I'm around, you're second best. Might as well learn to live with it."

 

 

Not from a comic book, but should have been. Best poker movie of all time.

"Are we having fun yet?"

 

- Zippy The Pinhead

 

Now that is a phrase that deserves recognition. (thumbs u

Shirley, 'It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman' counts as a great and famous

saying.

 

It's not a saying, it's a catchphrase or tagline.

Whoa!!!

(excuse delay)

[Spyderfan]

I've read several sermons that attribute the "with great power comes great responsibility" quotation to a Biblical source, yet have been unable to find the passage. Stanley Martin Lieber certainly had familiarity with the Old Testament, but other than that tenuous link for a Judeo-Christian attribution, I can't find any reference. What a wonderful (and powerful) phrase, though!

Yes, the great Stan "The Man" Lee penned that all by himself in a totally epic comic book storyline. Why is that so hard to believe?

[Icculus308win]

I was always partial to that totally awesome panel in the Wolverine Limited Series where he's fighting The Hand and he says (if I recall correctly)

 

"They we're good...

 

..I'm the best."

That line is probably still my most favorite line from a funny book.

Furthermore, I agree that the panel makes it the icing on the cake.

(or is it the cherry on top?)

That's why Stan is the Man.

I wish I had a copy of the book to scan that panel

[EwanUK]

"I am the law!"

 

"Gaze into the fist of Dredd!"

 

"Drokk!"

 

"You're next punk"

 

etc

 

all sayings I use regularly in conversation.

So how is life in Broadmoor??

[Jamie Coville]

Some others from the underground.

 

"keep on truckin"

 

and

 

"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope"

 

Also because it hasn't been said yet

"nuff said!"

Some others from the underground.

 

"keep on truckin"

 

No question that this phrase became part of the counterculture, but then Crumb was on the periphery of it, if not part of it. Didn't make a dime from all the merchandising of it, though....

[Speedy-D]

"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope"

'Nuff said!

Keep on Truckin' is classic! (thumbs u

So in other words there are no great sayings attributed to comic books.

 

Wrong.

I see.

 

In that case I suppose you could add the following.

 

"Snikt"

 

"Baaanff"

 

"Looks like we won".

 

"Say your prayers, hero!"

 

"Super-hero vs. Super-Villain! Only one shall survive!"

 

"Holy Moley"

 

"Sockamagee!"

 

"Fonebone"

 

"Potrezebie"

 

"Is that all you've got"?

 

"Up, up and away"

 

"Is it a bird etc."

 

"Trapped in world he never made"

 

"O Bitter Victory"

 

"The Dismal Dregs Of Defeat"

 

"Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot"

 

"It's kicking in".

 

"I shall be a creature of the night, terrible, I shall be a bat". (probably borrowed from gothic lit).

 

Memes aren't great sayings, no matter how widespread their usage.

 

Although they are obviously memorable.

 

Cool story, bro. (thumbs u
