1-4 The Vision stops two gangsters who target the mayor two days after the election. They flee with Benny and die in an accident.
5 The "five secret kings of the city" (mobsters) meet at the barber's. They are furious after the Vision. A gardener tells them of Dr Mason.
6 pn1 A new gardener (Galloway, a gangster) is recruited.
6 pn 2-5 After "two days," he meets Sheila.
7-10 "The next day" Galloway tries to force the doctor to send Aarkus to his dimension.
11-20 A Kalimachh beast enters our dimension and spreads terror and evil, makes way to the city until the Dr shuts the portal and Vision destroys the monster.
21:1-3 "The next day," (at night) Dr Mason apologizes that Aarkus is trapped in the world
21:4-22 "The next day," at the barber, the five kings kill each other.

Because of the presence of Pr Enoch Mason and Sheila Mason and the fact Aarkus winds up trapped in the world, I put this story after his origin. If I understand Avengers/Invaders 8 correctly, Aarkus was corrupted by the Cosmic Cube and became D'Spayre so the D'Spayre appearances occur in his chronology after Twelve Spearhead
