10 Incredibly Bloody Comic Book Deaths

10. Marv Chops Up Kevin

Dark Horse Comics

Speaking of Frank Miller, his graphic novel series Sin City was not designed for the faint of heart, but one death in that series seemingly stands head and shoulders above the rest. As featured in the first collection of Sin City stories, €œThe Hard Goodbye,€ Kevin is a mute, cannibalistic serial killer that typically murders the city'€™s prostitutes and feeds whatever he doesn€™'t eat of them to his pet wolf.

One of Kevin€™'s victims is a blonde-haired prostitute named Goldie, who also happens to be the love interest of Marv, one of the main protagonists of €œThe Hard Goodbye.€ Kevin also frames Marv for Goldie€™s' murder. When Marv confronts Kevin, the serial killer is able to overpower Marv and capture him. While he€™'s being held captive, Marv is forced to watch as Kevin eats the hand of another woman. Marv eventually escapes and systematically tortures and kills Kevin.

He starts by sawing off all of his limbs. From there, Marv feeds Kevin€™'s wolf the body parts of his master. The whole time, Kevin never screams or shows pain and he dies with a creepy smile on his face. Sin City'€™s black and white noir style doesn't show as much blood as some other entries on this list, but the read-soaked brutality is very heavily implied making Kevin€™'s death one of the most graphic, stomach-churning murders in comic book history.
