* ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'' is set 20 minutes into the ''[[Inverted Trope|past]]''. It was first published in 1986, but is set in an [[Alternate History]] 1985.

* [[Darker and Edgier|Grim and gritty]] superhero comic ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]'' took place twenty minutes into a future in which [[Batman]] has retired.
* Likewise, numerous other "grim and gritty" superhero comics influenced by ''[[Watchmen]]'' and ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]''.
