Over at http://marvel.wikia.com/Marvel_Universe_Reading_Order they have a pretty good reading order list ala the one David Hall posted up here years ago. It runs up to 1992 and covers the vast majority of titles published.

Is anyone here responsible for this work here and would anyone be game to audit this awesome body work. I'm thinking about making an attempt starting with the Silver Age by year. I think between the Marvel Indexes, the Chronology project, Paul's list and this, we could come up with a more comprehensive read list. Anybody interested?

Okay Hopefully the esteemed chronologists here can pick apart this read order and help me add appearances that need to go between. I used "The Marvel Saga" series to flesh this out and broke it down by year. All help is appreciated. Starting off is 1961-1962. Issues that take place or intermingle with an issue that show new scenes are shown with ~~~~~. Issues that are not canon due to conflicting issues have ~~~** before them.

Choose the second entry of the two. (That's what I did when I did my read order list. I don't know if it can be of much help to you Jason, as I limited my read order list to just comics I do own, which means it has many gaps.)

Thanks Russ and Starman, I'll correct it as people make comments. I made your suggested correction.

Is the story in Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man no.60/2 that imparts new info on Amazing Fantasy no.15 narrated from a later point in time or a straight retelling with new scenes?

In a way, both. The first page of the story is about his then present day life as a university student and freelance photographer, and the rest is a straight retelling with new scenes (edit: and some new info) which ends with Ben Parker's funeral day.

Thanks, Starman,I'll remove it. When stories are narrated from their place in history, you would read it at that time. If the story is presented as happening at this moment, I want to include it on the list in it's proper place.
