What about the Jack Kirby comic book with a giant face on mars years before we had pictures of surface of Mars?
Again I'm hoping others will post other such images, not specifically 9/11 related, so they can be gathered in one place. I seem to recall one where a dream "psychic" who used to paint or sketch his dreams and photograph himself in front of the calendar clock in his local Barclay's Bank as proof of the date produced a 9/11 related image and was photographed holding it a year before the event, with the added coincidence of the date on the clock behind him in fact being September 11 (or else the time was 9:11, or both). It would be good to find that.

The 19thC artist Albert Robida may have been the unwitting father of visual Steampunkery, and must have influenced many artists (including dear old Patrick Woodroffe) with his neatly-offbeam visions of the 20thC.
His amazing work "Le Vingtième Siècle" gives much to consider and enjoy, of a future history that never happened, and can now be considered to be in our past, twice.

I find these visions of neverwhen to be compelling and absorbing. Recommended for contemplation

Just a small link to an online suppository of all his works.
There's a pic of the painting in question at the bottom of the article. Not sure I'd rush to see his interpretation of it mind...No pics at the link, alas, as far as I could discern.
