=== ''Elephantmen'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Action Girl]]: Yvette in ''War Toys'', Vanity Case with her Wing Chun skills, and most recently Blackthorne with her [[Gun Fu]].
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Started with the Hip Flask advertisements.
* [[Art Shift]]: Due to the number of artists contributing to the series. Ladronn is the regular ''Hip Flask'' artist, and Moritat was the regular ''Elephantmen'' artist until issue 18. Now there are several different artists rotating on the book.
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: Pretty much any of the weapons carried by the Elephantmen during the War.
* [[Bio PunkBiopunk]]
* [[Canned Orders Over Loudspeaker]]: ''"You are not God's children! God made you weaker than man! MAPPO made you strong! You will defend MAPPO to your last breath!"''
* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: The mothers of the Elephantmen, in a variant of [[Death Byby Childbirth]]. Basically, Nikken kidnapped them, implanted them with hybrid embryos, placed them -- naked -- in nightmarish robotic contraptions, waited until their bellies were practically bursting from the sheer size of the baby, then cut them open and tossed their bodies in a mass grave.
* [[Cyberpunk Withwith a Chance of Rain]]: The Los Angeles of 2259 is much more polluted than it is today, and it rains much more frequently as a result. British-born creator Richard Starkings says that the main reason for all the rain is that Englishmen in LA always miss the rain.
* [[Designer Babies]]: How the Elephantmen are created.
* [[Doorstopper]]: Some of the collected volumes are quite hefty.
