* There's [http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/OQ/OQ06/DisplayOQ06.html?page=27 a scene] in #6 of the original ''[[Elf Quest]]'' series where Cutter is telling the Wolfriders he's made an important decision. This goes on over three panels, and in the background of these panels his lifemate Leetah and his best friend Skywise are apparently conspiring literally behind his back.
* In ''[[Marvel Zombies]]'', the Wasp surprises people on two separate occasions. Both times, you can see her in the background the panel before she pops up.
* In one issue of ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', Legion leader Cosmic Boy is having a talk with the President of the United Planets over a viewscreen. In the panel backgrounds, you might not even notice an electronic pad on the President's desk quietly floating up and away--the only visible sign that Legionnaire Invisible Kid is making off with some damning information while Cosmic Boy provides a distraction.
* The strange-looking redheaded man carrying the "End is Nigh" sign in ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]''. {{spoiler|Later revealed to be Rorschach without his mask.}}
* In the beginning of the ''Half a Life'' arc of ''[[Gotham Central]]'', almost a full issue before the [[Reveal]], Brian Selker ([[Private Detective]]) is following Renee Montoya to a restaurant called "Maloney's", taking intrusive pictures for a lawsuit that is about to be leveled against her. Being a long-distance shot in a comic book, with hand-drawn lettering instead of typed, there is not a lot of detail to be made out about the restaurant, and the name almost seems to be drawn as an afterthought: Maloney's Bar & ''Girl''. It is not a typo, it is a ''[[Gay Bar Reveal|revelation]]'', and if you missed it you need to wait until the end of the issue to get the full story.
