Line #34 Main/SceneCover


1	CoversAlwaysLie, but every now and then, you find a cover that actually tells you what's in the comic by showing a scene that really takes place, with little or no deviation from an actual panel in the story. In other words, the art was taken from the actual panel itself. Of course, the scene can still be so out of context as to throw you off, bringing us back to Covers Always Lie, but there you are.

15	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
16	** ''ComicBook/ActionComicsNumber1'' 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.
17	** The iconic [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/3/3d/Action_Comics_Vol_1_252.jpg cover]] of ''ComicBook/ActionComics #252: ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton1959'' 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.
18	** 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.
19	** ''ComicBook/SupermansGirlFriendLoisLane'' #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.
20	** 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.
21	** The [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/a/a8/Supergirl_Vol_1_3.jpg cover of the third issue]] of ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1972 Supergirl Vol 1]]'' features Kara kneeled and sobbing as her friends get fun without her. That scene happens in the last panel of that issue.
22	** The [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/3/33/Supergirl_Vol_2_17.jpg cover]] of ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl1982 Supergirl Vol 2]]'' #17 features a car crashing into Linda/Kara and getting crushed. That is exactly what happens in that issue.
23	** The [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/1/16/Supergirl_Vol_6_28.jpg cover]] of the first issue of ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' features an enraged, eye-glowing Kara grabbing a Red Lantern Ring.
24	** In ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl 2011}} Supergirl Vol 6]]'', the [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/0/0f/Supergirl_Vol_6_37.jpg cover]] of issue #37 -during the ''ComicBook/{{Crucible}}'' 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.
25	* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'''s covers were extreme closeups of stuff from very early in the issue.
26	* Creator/MarvelComics' 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.

30	* This is not solely limited to art; a popular convention on many, many fanfiction communities is to use an out-of-context quote from the story in place of a summary.

34	* Most of the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' graphic novels show a scene from the volume, but they usually don't match an actual panel. The only one that has so far is ''[[Recap/WarriorCatsIntoTheWoods Into the Woods]]''.
35	* Not a comic, but there are a couple books of ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'' which depict a scene from the book.

39	* The title screen of ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' shows Johanna and Tamara in a pose that they eventually strike when they’re announcing their decision to the protagonist that they’re going to share him.

43	* 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).
44	* ''Webcomic/CrowCillers'': Aside from the border and the text, [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/afa67cb32bc23dcc8d9e73749b221355/tumblr_o2fr21M6Wv1qfd9wso1_1280.png the cover for Season 2]] is directly lifted from a panel in "Fanfic of Horror I."
