Marvel Completest Checklist 1939

[Jason Doty]

I've been working on a fun project to compile an old school style checklist for Marvel and Marvel adjacent materials (characters that they have picked up or used in later years). Using various websites, books, and my private collection, this is where I'm at currently. In an effort to be as complete as possible, please let me know of anything I've missed to be added. Any and all help is appreciated as I roll this out year by year

I assume you're only listing comics and not magazines as well, sincemany of Goodman's magazines have been stated to be 616?

And how about a listing for 1936 for Dave Dean's appearances in Funny Pages #2-5?

[Jason Doty]

I'm hoping this checklist project can about places to look for Marvel or Marvel adjacent stories . I want this to be a jumping off point to look for the stories. So as I go, if you know of Magazines, Books, Giveaways, Foreign publications fun stuff that can be Marvel related, I'll add it on. For now though, lets keep it to 1939 on. I'll add a pre-1939, eventually.
