Spider-Man’s chronology for 1976 has a couple of odd placements for his guest-star appearances. He appears in DD 135 (07/76), set in early April, before ASM 153 (02/76), set in late Winter. He appears in IF 8 (10/76), set in early July, between ASM 154 (03/76) & ASM 155 (04/76), both still set in late Winter.
Below, i’ve offered publication dates in parentheses and internal dates in brackets to show the current layout, and where i believe these appearances *should* take place. (Not sure i like my chances here, however )
DA Blake Tower’s chronology is also affected.

Also, Doctor Octopus, Hammerhead and Aunt May all appear in a flashback scene in ASM 158, which occurs between their appearances in ASM 157 & ASM 158..

Amazing Spider-Man Annual 10 seems like it *should* go between ASM 154 & ASM 155, based on job numbers and publication dates.
ASM 154 (03/76) {JV201}
ASM@ 10 (04/76) {JV222}
ASM 155 (04/76) {JV231}
The only reason i can see for its present position after ASM 159 is that in ASM 158 Joe Robertson tells Pete about KJ Clayton having bought the Daily Globe, and that the Globe is scalping talent from the Bugle, whereas in ASM@ 10, JJJ and Robbie are discussing Clayton’s purchase of the Globe and how it’s affected sales of the Bugle. However, Peter wasn’t privvy to this conversation, so there’s no reason to suppose this has to go after ASM 158. (I really don’t like my chances here ) ** See post below.

Re: Amazing Spider-Man 1976
Amazing Spider-Man #155 concludes the W.H.O./Worldwide Habitual Offenders storyline that run through Daredevl issues #124-125, #127, and Amazing Spider-Man #153. Are any other characters affected?

Re: Amazing Spider-Man 1976
The Amazing Spider-Man vs the Prodigy! was published in 1976. Where should it go in Spidey's chronology? https://www.comics.org/issue/310843/

Re: Amazing Spider-Man 1976
I don't believe any characters other than DA Blake Tower are affected. There's no listing for W.H.O.

Re: Amazing Spider-Man 1976
This one's not listed in the MCP's Key, nor in the Non-Canon Titles list. I don't have a copy, but i'll try to get hold of one.vanhornluke wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 4:41 pm The Amazing Spider-Man vs the Prodigy! was published in 1976.

Re: Amazing Spider-Man 1976
Whoops! Ignore that. ASM@ 10 has to go after ASM 157 due to the appearance of a temp secretary, placing the issue after Ned & Betty's wedding.StrayLamb wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2019 3:01 amAmazing Spider-Man Annual 10 seems like it *should* go between ASM 154 & ASM 155, based on job numbers and publication dates.

Re: Amazing Spider-Man 1976
I've had a look at this one. It's set during late summer, placing it between my position for IF 8 and ASM 163 (1 - 9). Edited into above.

I'm pulling this thread up for at least this part:
