Shanna in M/FAN 4 and COC

Post by Michael »

Shanna appears on pages 11 and 19 of Marvel Fanfare 4 and it's not listed in her chronology. Now, Marvel Fanfare 4 appears between KZ3 16 and COC 1 in Ka-Zar's chronology. But here's the weird part- Shanna's appearances in Contest of Champions are placed BEFORE KZ3 1 in her chronology but Ka-Zar's appearances are placed AFTER KZ3 16 in his chronology. Obviously, either Shanna's entry or Ka-Zar's entry has to be wrong.

Going strictly from memory here, but I belive it is the Ka-zar entry that is correct. Shanna's COC appearance should be moved to match. Contest of Champions was published around the same time as KZ3 16. Also KZ3 16 and 17 provide a good "gap" in the narrative for other appearances as the first 15 issues have Ka-zar and Shanna adventuring exclusively in neighboring Pangea without returning to the Savage Land (Where the Marvel Fanfare story takes place) until the end of issue 15 start of issue 16.

Yeah, you're right- Contest of Champions has to happen after KZ3 16. Here's why- we have Belasco's appearances in KZ3 11and 12 taking place before his appearance in Uncanny X-Men 160. And we have Contest of Champions taking place after Uncanny 167 in the various X-Men's chronologies. So, KZ3 11 and 12 have to take place before Contest of Champions.
So Shanna's chronology should be revised:
SHANNA II/ SHANNA O'HARA PLUNDER
[...]
M/FAN 59
KZ3 1
[...]
KZ3 16
M/FAN 4
COC 1
COC 2-BTS
COC 3-BTS
KZ3 17
[...]
