Marvel Completest Checklist 1940

[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

[vanhornluke]

You appear to be missing Stuporman's appearances in Snap vol 1 #2 (Nov 1940) and #3 (Dec 1940).

[Jason Doty]

Can you give me a link to where I can find these?

[vanhornluke]

I've never been able to find copies myself, or even good cover pics. I only know of these Stuporman appearances because they're referenced in the book The Secret History of Marvel Comics.

[Jason Doty]

Updated.

[vanhornluke]

Fascinating! What are the reasons for noting appearances of Cat-Man, the Green Lama, and Wasp?

[Jason Doty]

Wasp was in Motion Pictures Funnies #1, considered to be a Timely publication and the others are noted due to Rick Jones memory of various WWII heroes in Avengers v1 #92

[vanhornluke]

Ah, so you'll be listing appearances for the Heap, too?

[Jason Doty]

Yes, I will.
