Dorris McComics does this a lot.

There was this Spider-man issue where he fights some alien who could jump in the time line, and they made some cool effects with the panels, but i don't have it now.

Okay that was pretty cool.

Liō sometimes breaks out of his strip and interacts with other comics.

I've always hated this comic

A lot of soiegleman's arcade-era stuff was pure formalism. Like the skeleton moire pattern one pager, Two-Fisted painters etc...recently Chris Ware and cats like Dash Shaw have done formalistic stuff..but you could take it back to Frank King, Boody Rodgers, Kurtzman, even Basil Wolverton.

That scene of Ultraman getting crushed by the panel borders gave me nightmares.

Dave Sims work is great example.
But to be honest outside of Will Eisner, Steve Ditko, Steranko, Jack Kirby, and Wally Wood, the European artists/creators are much better examples. European creators are much better, there is no others that can reach the level of art than European graphic albums

A search for metalepsis finds more examples.

I was looking for a semi-famous illustration of a beach scene divided into regular panels with a man paradoxically walking through each one. It's not in Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics, but that also has some meta examples.

Here's an example from Studying Comics and Graphic Novels - Karin Kukkonen, in chapter Self-Reflexivity.

>metalepsis
man, there is a word for everything nowdays

>>81429896
I don't get what's meta about this one.

>>81430038
it took me a while too
the "painter" is painting over the panel not the painting in the panel thats why the border is gone too

>>81422432
That was a good chuckle

>>81422815
This is pretty great

>>81427569
Animal Man for the win
