Top Ten and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen are filled with 'em, to the point that people (Jess Nevins) started annotating them. Mt favorite on that page is bottom center; the mouse with an eye patch. It's Danger Mouse!
Bottom left obviously Batman and the flying mouse with the A on its chest is Charlton's Atomic Mouse

Keith Giffen put a bunch into Legion, during the great Darkness Saga (as well as ripping off some Philippe Druillet)..... Antonio Steffanaci, curator of a museum devoted to magic... (also note a statue of Dr Fate, there, even though this is pre-Crisis, when he was on Earth 2) The Daxamites had some familiar hair and clothing styles... If you look at the crowd, you can see a familiar bat shape, Garfield, a certain homo arachnis, the creative team, and Matter-Eater Lad, munching on a carrot....
and third panel from the left underneath Superman is Ultimate Thor years before the Ultimate line launched

Great thread idea! Easter eggs can be distracting, sometimes, but they're also a lot of fun. Here's one from the April 13, 1975 Tarzan Sunday page : The lady on the mammoth is speaking the same alien language as these dudes from Weird Fantasy #17 (1953). The terms "Squa Tront" and "Spa Fon" were used quite often as an homage to the great EC comics, both in comics and as fanzine titles. More difficult to find is Vicente Alcazar's homage to Neal Adams in Creatures on the loose #29 (1974). Can you spot it? I sure couldn't. However, when you know where to look... (Zoom on the bottom of the stained glass window, then flip the image...) "This image I dedicate to Neal". Even harder to spot is one referenced by Michael Netzer on his blog: There is a figure of Deadman hidden on the splash page of Ms. Mystic #1 (1982). One can just see it by scanning the thing and playing with light intensity. (I can't manage the result Nezter posted, but it's clear the image is really there). The reason Deadman is there is that Neal hinted elsewhere that Ms. Mystic might be Rama Kushna. (Easier to find is the "who's / whose" error in the caption!)
both of these terms, Spa Fon, and Squa Tront, being used in EC's science fiction titles as alien language expressions of Good Lord !
My brothers and I would say that growing up LOL
