My girls were watching Jem and the Holograms (the old show from the 80s), and I noticed in the design crew a familiar name.. Romeo Tanghal. DC inker extraodinaire. It seems he was moonlighting a bit, and on a TV show vaguely related to Marvel no less.
Funnily enough, it's not listed on his Wikipedia entry, even.
Anyone else have any instances of comic creators turning up where you don't expect them?

Didn't Neal Adams design that weird Nasonex bee, the one with the voice of Antonio Banderas?  Never have Springtime allergies been so. . .strangely erotic.  |

I always liked Frank Miller's cameo in Robocop 2 as Frank the chemist.

I saw Tom Orzechowski hanging out in my office a few years back. Does that count?
Cei-U!

A lot of comic creators moonlighted on animated series over the years. Jack Kirby designed Turbo Teen, for example:  'nuff said? |

Editor/artist Larry Hama has also worked as an actor. I remember him popping up as a South Korean MP in an episode of M*A*S*H.
Cei-U!
I summon the sighting!

Kirby appeared on Bob Newhart's show, Bob, where Newhart played a comic book artist. Howard Chaykin is an extra in a scene in the first Trickster episode, of the 90s Flash tv series (as one of several hostages in a store robbery). Of course, Dave Stevens is the German rocket test pilot, in the stolen film footage, in The Rocketeer film. James O'Barr can be seen as a looter, in The Crow. Guido Crepax can be seen in the Valentina film, Baba Yaga.
One of the stranger places would be the meta crossovers that went on in the 90s self-publisher books. Dave Sim was caricatured in Eddie Campbell's Bacchus (getting thrown out of the bar, for being a jerk) while Neil Gaiman is portrayed as "Little Neil," in James Owen's Starchild. Sim had some of that in the Guys storyline.
Chester Gould did an episode of To Tell the Truth and one of What's My Line?.

Thundarr the Barbarian is all Kirby wonderfulness. Created by Steve Gerber IIRC, Thundarr had alot of comic creators on it... I didn't realize it at the time when I watched it on Saturday mornings, but it's SO Kirby now taht I know about such things. That's pretty cool Kirby is drawing on camera on the show. |

I don't think I ever saw that one... not sure how that happened, as it wiki tells me it came out right when I was most into Saturday morning cartoons. Looks... interesting? |

It was utterly ridiculous, but I couldn't get enough of it as a kid: |

Though "creator" is stretching it when referring to Bob Kane, he did make an appearance on the same show (perhaps even same episode).
