Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen

In 2009, Oni Press brought the fictional comic-within-a-comic from The Colbert Report to life with Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen. Written primarily by John Layman and Tom Peyer with art by Scott Chantler, this single-issue parody embraces the over-the-top, Cold War-era sci-fi spy genre, starring a square-jawed, time-traveling hero. A loving satire of classic pulp adventure, it matters as a meta-joke turned into a real, standalone comic book artifact.
