* [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/comic-book-chaos.php This Something Awful article] features a number of remixed comic book covers. On the Something Awful forums, it's known as "Ruining the Moment".

** Circa 1969, [[DC Comics]] figured there was room for yet another knockoff of ''[[Archie]]'' on the stands... but instead of creating a new series, they took old stories from their ''[[Dobie Gillis]]'' licensed comic, redrew the main character likenesses and relettered the scripts to produce the "new" series ''Windy and Willy''.

** In the mid-'70s, ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' suddenly became a hot property. [[Marvel Comics]] had a popular "Apes" series (in its black-and-white Marvel Magazines line). Marvel's British imprint, Marvel UK, eagerly followed suit with its own magazine, reprinting the American stories. But Marvel UK's "Apes" magazine was published ''weekly'', so they quickly ran out of American material to reprint. How then to fill the space? Marvel UK just took stories from Marvel's ''[[War of the Worlds]]''/Killraven feature (''very'' loosely inspired by H.G. Wells' original and never printed in the UK), rewrote the scripts and altered the art to turn Killraven's alien adversaries into apes. The result? Killraven became ''Apeslayer'', and Marvel UK could fill out the pages of its ''Planet of the Apes'' magazine for the rest of its run.
