14	* The {{Steampunk}} comic ''Airship Enterprise'' is ''Franchise/StarTrek'' [-NOT IN SPACE-]!
15	* ''ComicBook/AlbedoErmaFelnaEDF'' is ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' [-IN SPACE-]! or ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'' [-WITH FURRIES-]!
16	** Its sequel, ''ComicBook/AlbedoBirthright'' is ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'' [-IN SPACE AND WITH FURRIES-]!
17	* ComicBook/ArchieComics had some stories [-IN PREHISTORIC TIMES-][[note]]Archie I[[/note]] as well as [-IN THE FUTURE-][[note]]Archie 3000![[/note]]!
18	* Even the creators of ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' describe it as ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'' [-WITH SCIENCE!-] Literally - the commentary for the first volume is literally called [[http://www.atomic-robo.com/2007/10/30/what-if-hellboy-was-a-robot/ "What if Hellboy was a robot?"]]
19	* ''ComicBook/BigfootAndGrayOnTheRun'' is ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' [-WITH [[Creator/ChrisSavino CHRIS SAVINO]]!-]
20	* Most {{Elseworlds}} can be described as "A familiar character (usually either Batman or Superman) [-IN SOME OTHER TIME PERIOD-]! This dates back to the proto-Elseworld, ''ComicBook/GothamByGaslight'', set in TheGildedAge; other examples include ''Superman Kal'' (MiddleAges), ''ComicBook/TheBatmanOfArkham'' ([[TheEdwardianEra 1900s]]), and ''Shogun Of Steel'' ([[JidaiGeki Feudal Japan]]).
21	** Given the name of the characters on the good side, ''Shogun of Steel'' can also be described as a deliberate ShoutOut to ''Film/SevenSamurai'' [-WITH SUPERHEROES-]!
22	* ''ComicBook/{{Camelot 3000}}'' is the Arthurian legends [-IN THE YEAR 3000-]! [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin You guessed, didn't you?]]
23	* ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' is ''Film/TheNeverendingStory'' [-IN THE DC COMICS MULTIVERSE!-]
24	** Its first sequel, ''ComicBook/ZeroHourCrisisInTime'', is basically ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' [-IN A SINGLE UNIVERSE!-]
25	** The Image Comics event ''Shattered Image'' is basically ''Crisis On Infinite Earths'' [-IN THE IMAGE UNIVERSE, IN REVERSE!-]
26	* Creator/DellComics published infamous adventures of classic monsters {{Dracula}}, FrankensteinsMonster and [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent the Werewolf]]... [-AS COSTUMED SUPERHEROES-]!
27	* ''ComicBook/ExMachina'' is best described as ''Film/CitizenKane'', with the flashbacks told from the perspective of the man who is LonelyAtTheTop...[-WHO HAPPENS TO BE A SUPERHERO!-]
28	* The ''Far Out Fairy Tales'' graphic novels from Stone Arch Books are all this, with several of the titles being quite self-explanatory: ''Ninjarella, Red Riding Hood Superhero, Snow White and the Seven Robots, Hansel & Gretel & Zombies, Jak and the Magic Nano Beans, Rapunzel vs. Frankenstein'', etc.
29	* ''Hex'' was ComicBook/JonahHex transported [-INTO THE POSTAPOCALYPTIC FUTURE-]!
30	* ''[[http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/JK/JK01/DisplayJK01.html Jink]]'' and ''[[http://www.elfquest.com/gallery/OnlineComics/RB/RB01/DisplayRB01.html The Rebels]]'' are ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' [-IN {{THE FUTURE}}-]!
31	* Jack Kirby's ''ComicBook/{{Kamandi}}'' is essentially Anthro, an unusually intelligent caveman and and earlier DC hero who never caught on, in a post-apocalyptic future.
32	* Kirby conceived of ''Kamandi's'' sort-of sister title ''[[Comicbook/{{OMAC}} OMAC]]'' as "Comicbook/CaptainAmerica IN THE FUTURE!"
33	* How [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanfeust_of_Troy Lanfeust de Troy]] became Lanfeust des Étoiles
34	* There's a comic book adaptation of ''Literature/MobyDick'' in space. The whalers are asteroid miners, the giant squid is a white star named Kraken, Moby Dick is a (possibly sentient?) comet, and the final harpoon is a 10-megaton warhead.
35	* ''ComicBook/OdyC'' is ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' [-IN SPACE-], telling the story of warleader and starship captain Odyssia's return home to the planet Ithacaa following the sack of Troiia.
36	* ''ComicBook/Ramayan3392AD'' is the Ramayama [-IN THE POSTAPOCALYPTIC FUTURE-]!
37	* In ''ComicBook/{{Robin\|1993}}'' Tim and some of his classmates attend an apparently dreadful showing of "Theatre/{{Macbeth}} on the Beach" in Robinson Park for extra credit. Very little of the play is shown on panel but it includes a bunch of New Jersey college students trying to talk like surfers.
38	* ''Space Family Robinson'' (aka ''Lost In Space: Space Family Robinson'') was ''Literature/TheSwissFamilyRobinson'' in Space!
39	* Marvel's ''ComicBook/SpacePunisher'' miniseries is almost ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin -- ComicBook/ThePunisher [-IN SPACE!-] (The inexplicable colon in the title seems to suggest Marvel is slightly embarrassed to look like they're embracing this trope ''that'' blatantly.) The comic also featured the Space Fantastic Four, the Space Avengers, Space Deadpool and so on.
40	** ''ComicBook/Marvel2099'' also falls into this category, with the series being ComicBook/SpiderMan, ComicBook/GhostRider, ComicBook/XMen etc. [-IN THE FUTURE! WITH CYBERPUNK!-] This is ''especially'' the case with Punisher 2099, as there is little to distinguish Jake Gallows from Frank Castle aside from the setting, whereas most of the {{Legacy Character}}s at least had unique origins to set them apart from their modern-day namesakes.
41	* ''ComicBook/ThePunisher'' is ''Literature/TheExecutioner'' [-IN THE MARVEL UNIVERSE!-].
42	* ''ComicBook/FiveRonin'' is Wolverine, The Hulk (kinda), the Punisher, Psylocke, and Deadpool, in JidaiGeki Japan.
43	* ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'' is ''Film/TheDirtyDozen'' [-WITH SUPERVILLAINS!-] - it's literally described that way by the creator in his original pitch.
44	** ''ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}'' is Marvel's equivalent, especially in later versions of the team.
45	* ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'' had a spin-off [-IN SPACE-]!
46	* [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel's]] ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' v1 #14 featured a story called "What If Sgt Fury Fought WWII in Outer Space?", although this was a reimagining of the same events depicted in mainstream Marvel rather than a spinoff or sequel.
47	* DC's ''The Witching Hour'' #14 had a story titled "The Haunted House In Space," literally about a haunted house floating through space on a chunk of rock.
48	* ''ComicBook/GoddessMode'' is {{Magical Girl}}s [-IN CYBERSPACE-]!
49	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': After the fall of Nazi Germany in the real world Di still fought the occasional "former" Nazi but Saturnian Expansionist Space Fascists were introduced as a new villain, so that she could continue fighting the same ideological opponents in space! This fight ended up actually migrating to earth, but the author died right as this storyline was occurring and the replacement dropped it.
50	* ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'' is [[AcePilot fighter pilots]] [-IN SPACE-]!
51	** One of the comic's long-running subplots is ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' [-IN SPACE-]!, and [-WITH ALIENS THAT TRADITIONALLY HATE EACH OTHER-]!
52	** Another is the Anastasia mythos with a BoisterousBruiser Princess [-IN SPACE-]!
53	* ''ComicBook/TransformersLastBotStanding'' is ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheLastRonin'' [-WITH Franchise/{{TRANSFORMERS}}!-]
54	* ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIDW'' is ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage'' [-DURING MediaNotes/{{THE MODERN AGE OF COMIC BOOKS}}-]
55	* ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage'' is ''ComicBook/CerebusTheAardvark'' [-FOR MediaNotes/{{THE DARK AGE OF COMIC BOOKS}}-]
56	* ''The Young All-Stars'', the sequel series to ''ComicBook/AllStarSquadron'', is ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' [-IN WORLD WAR II AMERICA!-]
