Line 605:
*** Which brings up another amusing point about the comics: While some heroes, like the aforementioned She-Hulk and Fantastic Four, are public figures in the Marvel Universe, others, like [[Spider-Man]] or [[Daredevil]], aren't about to spill their secret identities on newsstands, so their comics-within-a-comic are only accurate as far as the superheroics go, and make up the heroes' "real" identities, personal lives and origin stories out of whole cloth.
*** Marvel once printed a series of one-shots, called ''Marvels Comics'', which were supposed to be the comics that exist in the 616 universe.
*** She-Hulk's third series claims that her second series (which was humor-oriented with [[No Fourth Wall]]) was in fact [[Mutually Fictional]], published by the in-universe version of Marvel.
* ''[[Watchmen]]'' also has ''Tales of the Black Freighter'', a dark pirate comic (since superhero comics didn't catch on in a world with real superheroes, pirate comics became common instead) which is used as a metaphor for various parts of the story and the characters' plights.
* [[Daniel Clowes]]' comic ''David Boring'' has the protagonist find "The Yellow Streak," a one shot comic by his father that seems to suggest why his parents divorced, while individual panels are used in the main story to suggest David's reactions.
