On Flavorwire, they highlight books that were fictionally created in other books and then made into reality.
From the piece...
Conceived by Brooklynite Sam Clay and his Czech refugee cousin Joe Kavalier, The Escapist symbolizes both the youthful imagination of its fictional creators and the era of early comic book superheroes in which it’s based. Although this superhero figure was invented for Michael Chabon’s 2000 novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, it’s hard to distinguish this masked vigilante from other contemporaneous icons like Superman and the Phantom. After Chabon received the Pulitzer Prize for his novel, he asked comic vets like Will Eisner and Howard Chaykin to bring the imaginary character to life in a series of real-life comics, which have since been published in multiple separate volumes.
