And I Must Scream/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

* The sixties weird-humor comic ''Plop!'' had an odd case. A ruthless gangster who [[Karma Houdini|never gets any punishments]] starts to think he can even weasel his way out of death, and hires a team of scientists to develop an immortality elixir. Some years in, they can only come up with a reincarnation elixir, which he takes, but tells them to keep working on the immortality. He eventually dies without them having completed it, and the reincarnation elixir takes effect, putting him into the body of a pig due to his lifetime of evil deeds. However, he ''still'' sees this as a triumph; pigs don't live long and it'll be easy to live a good life as one, so he'll be born again as a human in no time. {{spoiler|Then he feels the prick of a needle...and sees his own scientists congratulating each other in finally perfecting the immortality elixir.}}

* Palpatine's final death in the [[Dark Horse]] series ''[[Star Trek: Empire's End]]''<ref>This story is now considered non-canon due to the sequel trilogy taking precedence</ref> qualifies as this and a [[Karmic Death|Karmic Hell]]. After Jedi Knight Empatojayos Brand intercepts his attempt to [[Body Surf]] into Han and Leia's infant son, the shock of the transfer kills Brand [[Heroic Sacrifice| (something Brand was counting on)]] and both are drawn into an afterlife dimension inhabited by the souls of ''every'' Jedi murdered during the [[The Purge| Order 66 purge]], doomed to be at their mercy for all eternity.
