Line 2:
{{cleanup|This needs to be split into two pages: [[Tear Jerker/Comic Books]] and [[Tear Jerker/Newspaper Comics]].}}
Guys in spandex beating each other up? Cool (sometimes). Guys in spandex suffering horrible injuries? [[Tear Jerker|Tear-inducing]]...if they stick ([[First Law of Resurrection|which usually doesn't happen]]).
{{examples}}
==Comic Books==
* [[All-Star Superman/Tear Jerker|All-Star Superman]]
* [[The Batman Adventures/Tear Jerker|The Batman Adventures]]
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* [[Superman: Birthright/Tear Jerker|Superman Birthright]]
* [[Tintin/Tear Jerker|Tintin]]
* [[Watchmen (comics)/Tear Jerker|Watchmen]]
* [[Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?/Tear Jerker|Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow]]

▲* Gen13's issue #76 of the vol. 2 series. The entire thing is a sweet, poignantly funny party on the beach, complete with skinny-dipping, drinking, and plenty of hooking-up (with gratuitous [[Fan Service]]). Only to find out that {{spoiler|it's all a product of Caitlin's mind, as she and the other teens are in the process of getting blown up by a bomb: "Is this a Gen-Active thing... My mind conjuring a delusional unreality in the thousandth of a second before I'm vaporized...? Or does everyone die like this... the brain frantically stretching time into a subjective eternity, trying to comfort itself against the end?..."}}
* In an issue of [[The Ultimates]], there is a wall of photos of everyone that died in the Hulk's rampage. In itself, it's a really sad moment but seeing a child's drawing of a policeman with the child's handwriting on it with the words "We miss you Daddy" clinches it.
* Swedish children's comic ''[[Bamse]]'' (which is aimed at really young children, like "just learned to read" ones) has this in the origin story of one of the series' villains (Wolf) let's see: {{spoiler|orphaned at birth, raised by three abusive criminals, forced to help them commit crimes, wolf meets she-wolf, she-wolf teaches wolf to read, wolf's parents make him break in at she-wolf, wolf gets caught but escapes with help of she-wolf, wolf tries to get a job but can't because of earlier criminal behavior, wolf becomes pissed off, wolf thinks of she-wolf a lot. Wolf eventually meets main character of comics, and after continuously being thwarted wolf eventually performs his [[Face Heel Turn]]. That should do it, right? Not precisely, wolf still thinks of she-wolf, eventually meets up with her by accident. Happy ending, right? Not quite. She's married, with two children. Sad wolf.}}
