These comic book panels are from Fantastic Four #19. Here, Rama Tut expresses his existential boredom—what Heidegger refers to as langeweile. For Tut, as with Heidegger, the solution to boredom is to "live dangerously!" Only by living in the "danger zone" can things once again reveal themselves as charged with meaning.
I found this comic in Jackie Annual, an English tween magazine from 1978. Sandwiched between articles on The Fonz and a blurb on Woody from the Bay City Rollers is this love story set in the future. Like Rama Tut, Floris the main character is lost in existential boredom. Also like Rama Tut, she decides that the antidote to her boredom is danger!
In a future where everyone is made immortal by a wonder shot, protagonist Martin Dakan confronts his existential boredom in Wally Wood's The Precious Years. From Weird Science, 1953.
