* In the [[Silver Age]] [[Superman]] story "The Last Days of Superman", Superman believed he was dying from a Kryptonian virus, and among the preparations he made for his death was using his heat vision to write "Do good to others and any man can be a Superman. [signed] Superman (Clark Kent)" on the surface of the moon. When it turned out (surprise surprise) that he wasn't going to die after all, Supergirl and Krypto removed his secret identity from the message; the rest of it, however, was apparently there to stay.
** ...while the whole Earth was covered in clouds (somehow). Quoth [[Superdickery.com]], [http://www.superdickery.com/do-good-to-others-by-defacing-the-moon/ “P.S.: Fuck you, non-English speakers, and fuck your moon.”]
** At the end of the fourth issue of ''All-Star Superman'', Jimmy (as acting head of P.R.O.J.E.C.T.) orders a "cosmetic, short-term alteration of the moon's surface". It's a note saying "I Love Lucy" - which he uses as a backdrop when he asks his girlfriend (Lucy Lane) on a date. You better ''believe'' she appreciated it.
* A variation was done by Marvel Villain Terminus, who used a giant energy beam to carve his name across North America.

* Todd Ingram of ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]'' uses his amazing Vegan powers to punch a gigantic new crater into the moon for his then-girlfriend Ramona. He repeats this later with Envy Adams; apparently, it's the most flattering thing he can do. It comes back to bite him in the ass though, {{spoiler|as Envy puts two-and-two together and realizes it means he cheated on her with Ramona}}.
* In Don Rosa's [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Scrooge McDuck story]] ''Attack of the Hideous Space-Varmints'' Rosa plays some amusing [[Biting the Hand Humor]] as the ducks accidentally deface the dark side of the Moon with three craters that produce a perfect [[Mickey Mouse]] silhouette, and worry if they're going to get sued for it.
* One ''[[Judge Dredd (comics)|Judge Dredd]]'' story shows that the entire face of the Moon is used for ''advertising''.

* In one of the early ''[[Exploitation Now]]'' strips, cute teenage supergenius supervillainess (and slum landlord) Jordan Kennedy uses a gigantic [[Frickin' Laser Beams|laser]] [[Death Ray]] to write "Hillary Clinton is a big fat hairy bulldyke!" on the Moon. (In the strip, the official response from Senator Clinton's office was "[[I Take Offense to That Last One|She is NOT fat!]]")
