Posting this here, and will be updating as I find more, so I have a singular record, or until I find a better online resource where someone has exceeded my details on comic book/graphic novel appearances (as props) in TV or movies. I'm only going to be posting real, actual published comic books that make appearances.
Here are more delightful food-related AI images I gathered from NightCafe; while they are not my own, I found them so enjoyable that I saved copies here. Today's batch is all from @Cilia.

[Workflow: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) to create several base elements, moon, tree, castle, zombies pulled from online art repos, and then combined within Affinity Photo. Lots of details added with moon glow, cloud brushes, layers for glowing ghosts, lamps, and all kinds of minor tweaks and fixes.]
