* The Spanish slapstick comic [[Mortadelo Y Filemon]] had tons of minor jokes in the background, but the most infamous is [http://www.guai.com/gemelas/montadelotorres.htm this] panel of 1992 (the one showed in the Trope's main page), in which a plane is seen crashed in one of the Twin Towers.
* ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'' ended with Spider Jerusalem degenerating under an incurable disease and about to end his life by putting a gun up under his chin. {{spoiler|It was actually a cigarette lighter. As it turned out, he was fine.}} A few years after the end of the comics, Spider's real-life inspiration [[Hunter S. Thompson]] ended up doing pretty much the exact same thing...
* ''[[Fifty Two52]]'' had an early [[Running Gag]] that revolved around [[Batman: The Animated Series|Renee]] [[Gotham Central|Montoya's]] cigarette habit and her mentor's, [[The Question|Vic Sage]], constant efforts to educate her about the harmful effects of smoking. At one point, she goes so far as to blow smoke in his face. Ha ha, funny joke. Then we learn that Sage is dying of lung cancer...
** Not to mention Renee's line in week 14 that she {{spoiler|swore by the end of it, she'd hold his dead body in her hands.}} Heck, most of Renee's early dialogue involving Charlie just reeks of this, [[Invoked Trope|intentionally.]]
* In ''[[Justice League of America|Justice League International]]'', [[Booster Gold]] and [[Blue Beetle]] joke to each other about how Max Lord, their team's sponsor/boss, is going to [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/3015910.html "put a bullet in my head"] for their latest [[Zany Scheme]]. Years later, the prologue to the [[Crisis Crossover]] ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'' has Max, with a fresh new [[Face Heel Turn]], graphically executing Blue Beetle after [[Impeded Messenger|(almost) preventing him from revealing his plans]], complete with a huge bullet hole going right through his skull. The panel from the earlier JLI issue could be found on nearly every comic-book site within days.
