Some comics used to try to pass off source code ... often BASIC ... as programs on the screens of the computers in the story's. I had seen a couple of these instances in Jim Starlin's "Dreadstar" comic. One of them was a printer dump routine from 80 Micro magazine for a TRS-80 that included the original author's contact info on the screen:
