Marvel Completest Checklist 1936

[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. Thanks to vanhornluke, who pointed out that I should include the publications of Martin Goodman who is the founder of what we consider Marvel Comics today. You will notice that many of the pulp titles and characters were later used in the comics. This year brings us our first comic connections to Marvel, through Centaur Comics Publications, a now defunct company that is in the public domain. Many of the characters would be used later by Malibu and Marvel Comics. More fun stuff. I will add in the Marvel Characters I know of, next to any publication. Thanks to Leoparis for this suggestion.
