* Franchise/{{Superman}}:

** The iconic [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/3/3d/Action_Comics_Vol_1_252.jpg cover]] of ''ComicBook/ActionComics #252: ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'' features a girl clad in a Superman-like costume emerging from a space rocket, calling herself ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and claiming to have all powers of Superman.
** The [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/f/f6/Superman_v.1_307.JPG cover]] of ''Superman Vol 1 #307: Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'' features Supergirl smashing the Bottle City of Kandor. In the story that scene happens, indeed: Kara smashes... a replica of Kandor.

** ''ComicBook/ActionComicsNumberOne'' has [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a9/Action_Comics_Vol_1_1.jpg an iconic cover]] that has been parodied, homaged, copied and just plain stolen in almost every other visual medium. The image of Superman lifting the car is so associated with the character that each new iteration of the character will re-enact the scene, albeit often in different context. The artist made the cover by taking a panel from the interior story and blowing it up to fit the entire page.

** ''Superman's Girl Friend ComicBook/LoisLane'' #81 comic has [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a5/Lois_Lane_81.jpg a cover that shows Superman killing Lois in space.]] Although the scene was tweaked a little for the cover, it unfolded almost exactly as shown except that Superman wasn't trying to kill her, as the cover implied, but saving her life.

* The cover of ''Webcomic/GiftsOfWanderingIce'' shows a scene from the comic (Elie visiting the ice cave museum to take a look at the frozen ice monster).

** ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #1 has [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Action_Comics_1.jpg an iconic cover]] that has been [[TropeMaker parodied, homaged, copied and just plain stolen in almost every other visual medium]]. The image of Superman lifting the car is so associated with the character that each new iteration of the character will re-enact the scene, albeit often in different context. The artist made the cover by taking a panel from the interior story and blowing it up to fit the entire page.
** The iconic [[http://comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/actioncomics252.jpg cover]] of ''Action Comics #252'' features a girl emerging from a space rocket, wearing a costume similar to Superman's and claiming to call herself Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} and have all powers of Superman.
** The [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/f/f6/Superman_v.1_307.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20060815173743 cover]] of ''Superman Vol 1 #307: Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'' features Supergirl smashing the Bottle City of Kandor. In the story that scene happens, indeed: Kara smashes... a replica of Kandor.
** A [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Franchise/{{Superman}} comic in which Comicbook/LoisLane dates an astronaut has [[http://politedissent.com/images/oct05/sgll81.jpg a cover that shows Superman killing her in space.]] Although the scene was tweaked a little for the cover, it unfolded almost exactly as shown except that Superman wasn't ''[[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt really]]'' trying to kill her, as the cover implied; he was snapping her oxygen tube for some other presumably good reason.
* Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}:
** The iconic [[http://comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/actioncomics252.jpg cover]] of ''Action Comics #252: Comicbook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'' features a girl emerging from a space rocket, wearing a costume similar to Superman's and claiming to call herself Supergirl and have all powers of Superman.
** The cover of ''Comicbook/DemonSpawn'' features Supergirl being seized by demons as villain Nightflame holds a flaming sword above her. That scene happens, although slightly tweaked.
** The [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a8/Supergirl_Vol_1_3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081031040958 cover of the third issue]] of ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1972}} Supergirl Vol 1]]'' features Linda/Kara kneeled and sobbing as her friends get fun without her. That scene happens in the last panel of that issue.
** The [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/3/33/Supergirl_Vol_2_17.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/314?cb=20081031045918 cover]] of ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 1982}} Supergirl Vol 2]]'' #17 features a car crashing into Linda/Kara and getting crushed. That is exactly what happens in that issue.
** The [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/1/16/Supergirl_Vol_6_28.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140221164035 cover]] of the first issue of ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' features an enraged, eye-glowing Kara grabbing a Red Lantern Ring.
** In ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 2011}} Supergirl Vol 6]]'', the [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/0/0f/Supergirl_Vol_6_37.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141218194936 cover]] of issue #37 -during the ''Crucible Academia'' story arc- features Kara struggling against several versions of her wearing her Red Lantern outfit, her work clothes and a Kryptonian armor. It really happens in the history, although they are only psychical projections.
* The English release of ''Manga/SevenBillionNeedles'' features scenes from the manga out of context in black and white.
* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'''s covers were extreme closeups of stuff from very early in the issue.

* Marvel's Digital-Exclusive Comics tend to simply use a panel of the comic as the "cover", probably because they don't need to use the cover to attract people and it's cheaper than getting a cover artist for a cover that still applies under the previous reasoning.
