This category includes any entry that can be described as written work:
short stories, novels, comic books, and others. This includes the cover-art of such works, even if strictly speaking such art could not be considered a written work. See, however, the note on cover art. Additionally, graphic works like illustrations and photographs are currently in this category.
Titles in the list that are preceded by an asterisk ("*") were originally
published in a language other than English. The titles of any translations, if they exist, may
differ from the translated title given between brackets
("[…]").
As most science fiction fans know, cover art usually bears very
little comparison with the story, and is virtually never sent to the author
for approval. The picture on the cover may show a scene from the book (an
unlikely event in science fiction cover art!), but the flags will be as imagined by
the artist, not as imagined by the author.

- How Beautiful with Banners — James Blish
James Blish (1921-1975) is a well known US-based science fiction author;
this 1966 science fiction short story
"How Beautiful with Banners" was originally published in Orbit
1. The text includes 5 occurrences of the word
"banner" (excluding the
title) and one of the word "flag"
— all metaphorical, lacking any reference to actual vexillological
objects.

- Tirano Banderas — Ramón del Valle-Inclán:
A major Spanish novel is titled "Tirano Banderas" ("Tyrant Banderas"; "Banderas" is a Spanish surname). See Wikipedia.
(I actually bought a copy, lured by its apparent vexillological value!)
