* The [[https://www.amazon.com/Infernal-Affairs-Wu-jian-dao/dp/B00005JN7C cover]] for the American release of ''[[Film/TheInfernalAffairsTrilogy Infernal Affairs]]''. It features an attractive woman in a blue dress holding a large gun. The movie has maybe three female characters in it, but none of them are bombshells, even ''see'' any weapons over the course of the story, or have much more than five minutes of total screen time.
* Parodied in ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap'', where the cover to the band's latest album "Smell the Glove" is described as a naked woman with a collar and leash having a leather glove[[note]]"You should have seen the picture they ''wanted'' to use. It wasn't a ''glove'', believe me."[[/note]] shoved in her face by a man dressed in BDSM gear, causing quite a bit of controversy. When the album comes out, they give it the least offensive cover imaginable; complete matte black (without even the name of the band or the album).
* If you know nothing about ''Film/AmericanBeauty'', you could be forgiven for thinking it was a porn flick, given its title, tagline ("Look closer") and prominent image of a woman's midriff and a red rose. [[FridgeBrilliance This was probably invoked deliberately... look closer - don't judge a book by its cover!]]

* Not quite a "cover" as such, but the movie poster for ''Film/{{Star Trek V|The Final Frontier}}'' has an addition on its Japanese version which fits this trope down to the ground: a scantily clad alien catwoman was crudely placed onto the original artwork, where she hadn't been in the Western version of the poster. The scantily clad alien catwoman in question only appears in one (very brief) scene in the movie itself.
* The cover of the American video release of the Korean action film ''Film/{{Shiri}}'' features a nearly naked Asian woman with a gun. This does not reference anything within the film itself.

* The Creator/JuanJoseRyp cover to issue 4 of ''ComicBook/FrankMillersRoboCop'' features [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_large/1/11307/363621-20346-128122-2-frank-miller-s-roboc.jpg a bloodied Lewis drawn in such a way that she resembled a pole dancer]].

* Played with by the collected editions of ''ComicBook/SexCriminals'', which feature NSFW covers, but covered in dust jackets for books on topics like [[https://boingboing.net/2016/05/21/sex-criminals-robin-hood-bank.html DIY pet euthanasia]].
*''ComicBook/SpiderManBlackCatTheEvilThatMenDo'': All of the covers place a great deal of emphasis on Black Cat's breasts, ass or [[BoobsAndButtPose both at once]].



* ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}...you didn't see that coming, right? But just because Dynamite did a makeover and now dresses her decently, it won't exclude her wearing her classic costume on the cover...
* Standard for Dynamite; ''many'' issues of ''ComicBook/WarlordOfMars'' have covers featuring [[MsFanservice Dejah]] when her role is minimal or non-existent. It happens mostly on the original main series however.

* ''ComicStrip/LibertyMeadows'' is a hilarious comic, but Frank Cho's love of busty women on the cover makes it almost a certainty that reading it in public will get you some funny looks. Jen's cover on the fourth collection is especially outrageous in this regard. In Cho's defense, the interiors are often just as sexualized as the cover, making it as much a case of Truth In Advertising.

* ''Manga/ACentaursLife'' is a SliceOfLife manga that occasionally features nudity, but unlike some of its monster girl-themed competition like ''Manga/MonsterMusume'', it's usually in an everyday context and is less focused on {{Fanservice}}. Nevertheless, while the first few volumes had covers that depicted the everyday scenes the manga focuses on, there have been an increasing number of covers that are obvious attempts at {{Fanservice}} that are at odds with the content or depictions in the actual manga. Perhaps the most notable is Volume 8, which features an OffModel version of the main character in a swimsuit, featuring her larger-than-usual breasts dripping with water prominently on one side of the book, and a close up on her dripping behind on the other. In general, her breast size has also been increasing with each cover, far ahead of her in-story depiction, and included the visible shape of nipples through her clothes.
* ''Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund'''s covers tend to feature ReallySevenHundredYearsOld but child-like looking Mina Tepes in various states of undress and "come hither" posing.



* Of the many gorgeous ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'' covers available, Creator/{{Netflix}} chose [[https://assets.nflxext.com/us/boxshots/hd1080/70213092.jpg this one]] to advertise it. Those not in the know wouldn't be blamed for thinking it's a {{Yaoi|Genre}} series, and while there is HomoeroticSubtext by the boatload and at least one canon same-sex crush, it's nowhere near representative of the content.



* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'':
** The Blu-ray release features a nude Panty straddling a large gun on the cover. Naturally, the set has a strategically-placed sticker over Panty's torso so it can be sold at mainstream retailers like Target or Walmart; and the sticker is notably absent at online retailers or specialty stores like Suncoast Motion Picture Company. Justified given it's an AnimatedShockComedy, but it still qualifies.
** [[UpToEleven Pushing the envelope of this trope to the limit]], then, we have the ''[[LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition Forever Bitch Edition]]'', which cover shows... [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131102075204/pswgb/images/f/f6/Panty_%26_Stocking_with_Garterbelt_-_Forever_Bitch_Edition_cover.jpg Yeah.]][[note]][[ShmuckBait If you want to know but you're too scared to click]], it's Panty and Stocking nude [[EroticEating giving a blowjob to a breadstick]].[[/note]]



* Issue #8 of ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: Gotham After Midnight'' shows a gorgeous, lingerie-clad woman BoundAndGagged on the floor. Nothing remotely close to this happens in the actual comic. Similarly, there's a ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'' cover that has him standing over a BoundAndGagged ComicBook/{{Huntress}}.
* In the early 2000s, Marvel published an [[ComicBook/EmmaFrost Emma Frost miniseries]] covering the character's early life, which was mostly teen drama, had relatively low-key artwork, and might have appealed to young women. Unfortunately, the covers of the comics were incredibly sexed-up pin-up shots of the adult Emma wearing an assortment of costumes that were even more revealing than the costume she normally wore at the time in ''ComicBook/NewXMen'', and if you've read that title you'll know that wasn't easy to achieve. This probably contributed to the series' failure. This is one of the worst examples, but many Marvel comics with solo female protagonists during this era featured heavily sexualised pin-up covers, often by Greg Horn, that give little clue as to the content inside.
* The comic adaptation of ''[[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo]]'' has some quite painfully fanservice covers, depicting Lisbeth Salander as some kind of Suicide Girls-style goth/alt pin-up. Particularly inappropriate given the nature of the work as a protest against male exploitation of and sexual violence against women.
* ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' has a troubling Omnibus image, [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51E0sJy0ivL.jpg giving a panty shot of Cassie Hack with special attention being drawn to the groin area.]] While the comic has lots of fetish-wear, it is surprisingly tasteful in its fanservice.



* Parodied by ''ComicBook/TheMiddleman''. The first issue was available with a normal cover, or (as a Comic-Con exclusive), the "Special Completely Inaccurate Variant Cover Edition", which features a muscular barbarian with a [[LegCling scantily clad woman lying at his feet.]]



* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': During William Messner-Loebs' run the cover art did not always reflect the story inside the book very well, and during her stint on a Sangtee Empire prison planet one cover depicted her with her back arched wearing essentially a bikini and a collar with chain leash. Her outfit was not the same in the book and the Empire did not bother with chains.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': Spoofed in one of the ''Outland'' collections (the successor to ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'') is titled "His Kisses are Dreamy... But Those Hairballs down my Cleavage..." Needless to say, the title speaks for itself, but just to elaborate, it has Bill the Cat puckering his lips and an ample-chested woman with a tear rolling down her cheek.
* ''ComicBook/{{Princeless}}: Get Over Yourself'' #2 {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this trope. [[http://whatchareading.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/princeless-2-cover.jpg The cover]] has an image of Adrienne's sister Angelica spread out naked for the reader. The nudity is interrupted by the ''real'' Adrienne [[BreakingTheFourthWall bursting out of the cover and criticizing the artist for drawing a skeevy image that has nothing to do with the actual story]].
* In 2014, Marvel hired noted erotic artist Milo Manara to draw special covers for some of their new titles. One of them was the [[http://78.media.tumblr.com/88a638213cb0a362a38c80601b50ac41/tumblr_naj5dj5POr1r34y4ho1_500.jpg this]] cover to the 2014 launch of the ''ComicBook/SpiderWoman'' series (also a part of the ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'' storyline). Not only did some fans get up in arms over the suggestive pose, they got up in arms over how uncomfortable and bizarre that pose was.
* ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'': The ''ComicBook/HeroesForHire'' tie featuring the infamous cover seen [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/a/a3/Heroes_for_Hire_Vol_2_13.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070913193242 here]]. While the interior features not a single tentacle naughty or otherwise. Various readers and critics vocally disapproved, pointing out the dripped slime on ComicBook/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}}'s cleavage, and that one tentacle appeared to be unzipping [[ComicBook/DaughtersOfTheDragon Colleen Wing]]'s catsuit as being particularly over the line.

Added DiffLines:

* Even though the original first couple of covers of the ''Manga/ExcelSaga'' manga by and large avoided {{fanservice}}, later covers always have female characters in strange, revealing clothing, like GoGoEnslavement gear or a {{Stripperiffic}} {{Sexy Santa|Dress}} outfit.
* ''Manga/FrankenFran'', a manga whose [[BodyHorror content]] itself would be rather hard to explain, likes to go the extra misleading mile by having the covers be the [[CuteMonsterGirl main female characters]] in poses out of a medical fetish book. Often there's a [[FanDisservice horrific version of the same picture on the next page]], such as the cover of volume 3, which features a sexy picture of Adorea, complete with cute face -- despite the fact that her actual face is a mass of tentacles designed for swallowing people whole. The aforementioned horrific version reveals that the "cute face" was just a biological mask.
* This is poked fun at three years straight in the New Years anime specials of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}''. The first two times Gintoki holds fake DVD covers featuring him and Hijikata shirtless in suggestive poses, then it's the Benizakura Arc movie tickets... Hijikata is barely in it anyway.
* The cover of the first manga volume of ''Manga/InuXBokuSS'', a slice of life manga about a group of half-{{Youkai}} living in a boarding house, features Ririchiyo sitting on Soushi's shoulder, with it looking like he's putting a hand up her skirt. Even though the series barely features any nudity or sexual situations at all, and the covers of later volumes reflect that, the first one is enough to make some think the story is {{Ecchi}} and put it back on the shelf.
* The novel version of ''LightNovel/LChangeTheWorld'' has [[https://deathnote.fandom.com/wiki/File:L_change_the_world_novel_cover.jpg this]] as the cover. Aside from it being weird, people who don't know anything might even go so far as to think [[InsaneTrollLogic it's a book about a pedophile]] since he is surrounded by toys and candy.
* The ''Anime/NajicaBlitzTactics'' DVD sets contain a set of female panties inside. Given the [[PantyShot abundance of female undergarments]] featured in the show, it's quite fitting.
* The first volume of ''Manga/PeepoChoo'' has a huge picture of a scantily-clad [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure Reiko]].
* Most of the covers for ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' are pretty tame, although there ''is'' one cover that features Rue in a bird cage wearing a corset and a tutu that covers basically nothing. It's based on a real ballet (as all of the covers are), and it's highly symbolic, so it's not ''too'' out of place... but then ADV decided to use that picture as the cover for the boxset. Considering Rue isn't even the title character, the fans were confused and embarrassed by the move. Luckily in later editions the eponymous MagicalGirl is shown on the cover in a less provocative pose.
* The original multiple-volume release of ''LightNovel/WelcomeToTheNHK'' used this trope on every volume. Going off the covers, you'd believe the show was about sexy ladies instead of an anxiety-ridden hikikomori man, though some of these images do appear (briefly) in the actual anime. The complete collection/season sets do not use this trope.
* The cover for the American release of ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf''. It's kind of [[AudienceAlienatingPremise hard to sell a series focused on medieval economics]], even if one of the lead characters is a [[LittleBitBeastly cute wolf girl]]. The publisher attempted to rectify this by first releasing volume 1 with a cover which shows a live-action and possibly naked girl with a wolf tail who looks nothing like the said wolf girl, Holo. It makes it look like some sort of trashy erotica novel or {{ecchi}} MagicalGirlfriend series, when it's really a historical fantasy. Outcry from fans led to it being issued with the original cover as a dust jacket. Eventually, the publisher found a compromise; the live-action covers were instead used as the dust jackets, while keeping the original art as the main book cover.

* ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments:'' Most of the first book's cover is taken up by [[ShirtlessScene a shirtless male torso]]; presumably it is supposed to represent the male lead, Jace, who never gets shirtless in that book.

At NO point in the entire movie, did she ever shows up in this attire.
