In Pictopia by Alan Moore, Don Simpson, Mike Kazaleh, Pete Poplaski, and Eric VIncent started life as a benefit story for the Comics Journal's legal defense due to something Harlan Ellison said in an interview about Michael Fleisher.
Anyway, Nocturno the Necromancer goes on an early morning stroll through Pictopia, giving a metacommentary about the rise of super heroes and the state of the comics industry as 30s style cartoon characters are beaten up by grim and gritty super heroes.
The story is only 13 pages. The rest of the book is a couple of essays about the history of In Pictopia and how this edition came to be. It's a cool story with a surprisingly complex publication history, including Alan Moore later taking his name off it due to something said about him in... the Comics Journal. You can't make this shit up.
The entire book is less than 40 pages so get it as cheap as you can. It's a worthwhile read, though.
