* ''[[The Invisibles]]'' was basically created as a way for [[Grant Morrison]] to explain his experiences with extraterrestrial contact and magic.
* [[Frank Miller]] has always been a little on the board about his politics in his writings, though they never have messed with a good story. However, the years have passed, and his works and just less and less stories and more and more just characters fighting and talking about HIS views on politics, specifically, HIS preferences on politics. And, with his new title, ''[[Holy Terror]]''... lets just say that Islam, the entire Islam, being terrorists or little children, won't be saved.
* [[Warren Ellis]] has specifically stated that ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'' is basically him venting about his various opinions on politics and consumerism, with the main character being a sort of author surrogate. This is particularly notable in the issue where Spider Jerusalem takes on religion, which doesn't even end properly—the issue concludes with him dressed up as Jesus, tearing up a sort of [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|religious convention in a mall]] (while giving [[Author Filibuster|a long speech]] about why religion sucks, of course) and getting tackled by security. [[
** ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'' actually does this right, as Spider is just unsympathetic enough to avoid being a [[Mary Sue]] 'I am right, you are wrong' type of character. You are left free to disagree with his individual likes and dislikes while sympathizing with his basic humanity, as many characters within the comic itself do. Many of the characters close to Spider constantly complain about what a [[Jerkass|horrible and unpleasant person]] he is, frequently abusing and taking advantage of him when he's blitzed on whatever drugs he's managed to come up with. At one point, one of the characters closest to him gets sick of his crap and leaves; but later returns and comments that the worst part of working with such a [[Magnificent Bastard|bastard]] is that he's the good guy, and actually making a difference.
** Most of Ellis' comics seem to have characters declaring their sociopolitical views, which always are along the same lines, and close to the author's own opinions.
