List of comics creators appearing in comics

Several comic book and comic strip writers, artists, and others have appeared within the fictional world of comics, both their own and others'. Some appear as simple characters in the story, some appear as characters who break the fourth wall and address the reader directly, and some make cameo appearances in framing sequences to introduce a story and sometimes to have a last word.

Fantastic Four #10 (Jan. 1963): Before his Fourth World, there was Jack Kirby's fourth wall. Cover art by Kirby and Dick Ayers.
