Line 27:
* The word Hellblazer just gets smaller and smaller, while the words [[John Constantine]] get larger and larger. Ironic, because the original title was chosen specifically because they didn't think anyone would know who Constantine was (despite his appearances in the [[Swamp Thing]]).
* ''Journey Into Mystery'' is another example of a book that was originally supposed to be an anthology but eventually became dominated by stories about its [[Breakout Character|most popular character]] before finally just being renamed for him. In this case, it became ''[[The Mighty Thor]].''
* [[Popeye]] originally debuted as a bit player in Thimble Theatre, with Olive Oyl already well-established. Pretty soon after, Popeye became the main star, with Olive Oyl becoming his love interest over her original love, the [[Blondie (comic strip)|Dagwood-like]] Harold Hamgravy.
* The [[Milestone Celebration|100th issue]] of ''Tales Of Suspense'' saw the series renamed ''[[Captain America (comics)|Captain America]]'', after the superhero who co-starred (alongside [[Iron Man]]) since issue #59.
* Similarly, ''Tales to Astonish'' became ''[[Incredible Hulk|The Incredible Hulk]]'' with #102, after the character who'd been co-starring since issue #59.
