I was 8 years old when I read that. It was shocking for sure.

Gwen Stacy (the original)

Talia Al Ghul was the first female character I wanted to bone, but Gwen was the first one I fell in love with.  My dream girl.  Then that B*stard Roy Thomas killed her.

It was Gerry Conway IIRC.

[Brian48]

Yeah, that's right.  Conway.  For some reason I keep getting those two mixed up.

I always found the death of Captain Stacy more upsetting than Gwen.

[Get Marwood & I]

Putting aside the obvious ones, I was quite put out when Stegron bought it. You'd have had to have had a heart of stone to not shed a tear as his little Stegron claw sunk under that icy cold water....

I agree. Much more poignant. 

[BCarter27]

Wonder Woman 187. Lois Lane interviews Diana and is there when she sings starving children to their final rest.

End of Preacher was very emotional for me.

Strangers in Paradise. I Dream of You, ending... just pick a random spot and get tissue.

Locke and Key ending gets me too with the ghost on the back of the motorcycle. <fans eyes to keep makeup from running>

The Loathsome! A story from EC comics this should have won a pulitzer prize I remember reading this and the tears flooded out it was such a touching story.

Yup.  Classic Weird Science story about a misunderstood little mutant girl.

I've always valued my ASM 90 more than my ASM 121 for that reason.

Both are great books, of course.

This story really polarises, from those who think it's one of the worst ever issues of ASM to others like us who find it extremely affecting.

The ending to Y the Last Man

[Gaard]

"There is no corpse."

"There is no corpse."

"There is no corpse."

 

No tears.  Just chills.

[Quicksilver Signs]

When Hulk finally accepted that Jarella was dead. Valkyrie got him to realize it after duking it out with the Defenders (and going WILD, running AMOK or whatever) , I think I was 10 when I read that.

-Strangers in Paradise had a few tear jerking moments for me.

-When Tulip "died" in Preacher it really affected me.  It was so graphic.... and the look on Jesse's face.   I was very happy when she was brought back.  Also, when Jesse fell out of the Plane and Cassidy caught him with one hand.  His hand was burning up but he wouldn't let go.  Jesse told him to let go and finally had to use the "word" on him.  

-Gwen, of course.

Pow!  You crushed it!  I knew lots would say Gwen.  SIP & Tulip were what I was going to post.

MTIO 34 is a great call I had forgotten about.

ASM 121

Death of CM

FF191

The Last Avengers Story

x-Men 137 (Though to this day I want to see a What If where the Beast has an a-ha moment and calls in his Avengers buddies and Thor, Iron Man, Cap, Wondy, the Vision et al mop the floor with the imitation Legion). 

And, in a good way, Avengers #4 when the cop on the street spots Cap.

Pride of Baghdad.  Vertigo one-shot written by Brian K. Vaughan.   This book will haunt you.  I'm serious, its been 10 years since I read it, and just thinking about it makes me feel the same way I felt when I finished it.  Not for the weak willed.

 

 

Absolutely.  I even gave the TPB to my father in law (who is a retired professor of Middle Eastern Studies) just because it's so powerful of a story.
