I just remembered another one, when Spider-man came back from the secret wars in the black costume. It was the one gimmicky thing done in the 80s that I actually liked.
This cover was one the greatest moments ever, I had no idea this was happening and it was a cool shocking moment seeing this comic.

The scene that made the biggest impression on me was in T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents when Menthor gave his life to save those of his colleagues. A hero's death.

The greatest ever, to me? The last page of Avengers #58, when the Vision sheds a single tear. This was in the 1960s, when people were struggling with the concepts of equality, between races, between sexes...and here was the ultimate outsider, being accepted as human when even he doubted his standing. Potent stuff.

I have many, but Galactus falling after getting the Thing slammed in his kisser (FF 243) comes to mind.

Most of JB's FF run contains memorable scenes, IMO.

Wallace, as soon as you started citing those words out of Elfquest the images just poured into my mind.  Definitely one of the greatest scenes EVAR.

And to add, I'd offer another scene out of Elfquest. It's in the battle between Rayek and Cutter in Hidden Years #9.5 (awesomely inked by our very own Woundwrangler), when Cutter sends to Rayek finally showing someone what losing his family for all these years has meant to him; and we see a wooden Cutter with notches all over the body and the line "You made me human" comes up.  Gets to me! And pays off on a few scenes from Kings of the Broken Wheel that could well deserve honourable mentions here.

Am I missing something?  Why is everyone spelling 'ever' with an 'A' in place of the second 'E'?

Not everyone, but I think it's a deliberate misspelling to denote emphasis.

Can't speak for anyone else, but for my own part I just opted to follow the tone of the thread title... which after all is "Greatest scene EVAR!"

And I do think that type of usage has to do with mimicking spoken language to generate emphasis, which isn't too uncommon out here in the Virtual World.
