Comics Do Shakespeare: King Lear, Act 4: Four out of five dentists recommend sharpness for their serpent patients

Hey, how about titles based on famous Shakespearean quotes? Where were you when you first realized Claremont stole this from the Bard?:


from [Uncanny] X-Men #126 (Marvel, October 1979), script by Chris Claremont, pencils by John Byrne, inks by Terry Austin, colors by Glynis Oliver, letters by Tom Orzechowski

Oh, well, maybe he stole it from this, which is where I first encountered the quote:


title card from Star Trek: The Animated Series season 2, episode 5 (Filmation, October 5, 1974)

Poor Will Shakespeare! Bein' plagiarized left 'n' right.
