Line 15:
* In the [[Marvel Universe]], The End and Earth/Universe/Paradise X are all basically just comicbook/graphic novel embodiments of this for the whole Marvel universe.
* [[Frank Miller]]'s ''[[Give Me Liberty|Martha Washington Dies]]'' does this for the entire Martha Washington franchise, skipping ahead 77 years after the previous Martha Washington installment to show Martha dropping dead at 100 after giving an inspirational speech to a crowd while her granddaughter is present.
* [[Jonah Hex]] from [[The DCU]] was given a [[Deadly Distant Finale]] ([[Twilight of the Old West|set in the year 1904]]) in the ''Jonah Hex Spectacular'' one-shot. His death was based off of that of Wild Bill Hickok, but Hickok was never stuffed and mounted in a ridiculous [[Roy Rogers]] style costume afterward.
** This is a bit of a strange case, in that the ''Jonah Hex Spectacular'' came out in 1978... And the regular Jonah Hex book lasted until 1985, running for about 75 more issues after the Spectacular.
* ''[[Y: The Last Man]]'' does this, covering five years in the first 59 issues and then jumping ahead sixty years for the final chapter, where a clone of Yorick Brown meets the titular hero, now a bitter old man who outlived every other major character in the series and is now committed following a suicide attempt on his 86th birthday. The meeting sparks several depressing flashbacks, crossing off Yorick's traveling companions one by one, as he shares some poignant wisdom with his carbon copy before unexpectedly departing (the room).
