Speaking of Fantastic Four, there is issue #176, where the Impossible Man rages through the Marvel offices, looking for Stan. It would then be repeated in X-Men Annual #7, with Impy on a scavenger hunt, which includes someone (Shooter?) yelling for Claremont, after the havoc.

In Iron Man #72, Tony is in San Diego during the SDCC and decides to go to the show in his full armor. He tries to buy a copy of the latest Iron Man comic book, but he doesn't have any cash in his armor, so he attempts to use his Avengers card to charge it, but the dealer won't go for it.
Also, this issue takes place during the "Nose" period on his mask, and there are a couple of funny meta moments included about this. The first is when Tony runs into a convention-goer who derides him for being an Iron Man "fan", as Iron Man is boring, and the fan questions why the mask would have a nose on it. The second is when Tony runs into another cosplayer in an older-version Iron Man suit who comments "I see you've gone along and added that ridiculous nose to your mask", and when the guy walks off, Tony thinks "Didn't realize so much attention would be paid to a simple costume change."
There are also some cameos of Roy Thomas, Frank Brunner, and a couple other industry professionals in the issue.

So I'm reading Avengers 55 (or 470) and there is a scene where Derek is talking to Ironman about his brother. His brother loved everything Avenger and even has a comic book that they show a picture of...which I do not have a digital copy to post here (maybe someone can help me out there?). I was wondering...was it a real comic book? The cover shown is from Avengers v1 #58.

At DC, the Silver Ghost was scheduled to make an appearance in Freedom Fighters #16, which was cancelled before it was published. It was supposed to get shuffled to the Secret Society of Super-Villains; but, it fell victim to the DC Implosion. Silver Ghost next turned up in Crisis on Infinite Earths, when the villains take over Earth-S. The stories intended for Secret Society of Super-Villains #16 & 17 featured in Cancelled Comics Cavalcade #2 and were reprinted in Secret Society of Super-Villains #2 TPB.

If I only had one Sgt. Rock comic that would be the one! Yes, it definitely looks like some Kubert in there. Those must've been 68pagers to stop bullets...

In Little Lulu comics there were stories within the comic, like the witch stories Lulu would tell Alvin, and the Spider detective character Tubby would fashion himself after if there was a mystery involving poor Lulu's Pop. In L'il Abner was Fearless Fosdick, a parody of Dick Tracy, and the Gould in Dick Tracy had a character that drew a comic strip titled sawdust.

Speaking of comic strips, Sheldon Mayer drew a few stories for Dell’s The a Funnies (1936), in which he himself is attempting to draw up a comic strip and meets a comic editor. We even get to see related-comic strips drawn by readers at the bottom of the page as well:
