Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is one of the essential items from the "Seth Cohen Starter Pack", portrayed by the actor Adam Brody in the American TV show The O.C. In 2016, a fan-made animated opening sequence to the film was uploaded onto Vimeo. In the novel, one of the early comics' covers has a painting of The Escapist punching Adolf Hitler in the jaw (on some editions of the book itself, this is also the cover art). This is a reference to the real-life comic book series Captain America Comics, which showed the protagonist punching Hitler on the cover its first issue, published a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor.
