I'm sure Dan or somebody else will give a more detailed explanation, but I'm pretty sure the answer is "no."
Are the Marvel Comics, as depicted in She-Hulk, identical to the ones we read? Does this mean Spider-Man's secret identity, or, say, the secrets of the House of M, are actually out there on the newsstands for anyone in the Marvel Universe to learn? (Maybe it's true that nobody reads print any more!)
Also, wouldn't it be interesting to see the people who make them? I mean, I know we see creator cameos, etc, but I'm imagining these guys would have to chase these characters around, meticulously study crime scenes, etc. Could lead to some interesting storytelling opportunities... or at least a few good gags!
Well, obviously, but... how? Does this mean that these details are blanked out or something? Censored by SHIELD?
I think that, historically, the comics in the Marvel Universe are based on their own heroes but not identical to the ones we read. Those comics are just based on outsiders' and bystanders' views of the events that take place in the MU.
Interesting fact: Steve Rogers used to illustrate comics for a living some time back when Mark Gruenwald had his great run on Captain America.
In his interviews Dan has mentioned that only the heroes like Fantastic Four and Avengers (publicly known) have their own comics, Spider-man does not.
