Dan Dare/Awesome

The closing sequences of Grant Morrison-scripted nasty follow-up, Dare: The Future. "I sold everything EXCEPT my soul..." And later, "Trust me. It's EASY." These quotes mean nothing out of context, but when you read the whole thing...YOWSAH is the only word. Also, from the same comic, Digby's Last Stand ("Eh-up, John Willie, y'bastard!")
In the recent^[when?] series by Garth Ennis, British space hero Dan Dare gets one; captured by the forces of his arch-nemesis, the Mekon, he is dragged in chains before his arch-nemesis and subject to a lengthy monologue about how futile the resistance posed by him and his allies is. Dare's response? Midway through, he calms interrupts the Mekon's rant with "We always oppose squalid little men like you. There's really nothing more to say." And then proceeds to ignore him entirely in favour of chewing out the Mekon's ally, the Quisling Prime Minister of Great Britain, instead.
