Marvel Chronology Project

Just updated this index for the first time in three years, adding the most recent threads and updating older ones where there are more recent chronologies later in the thread. It is quite likely I've missed something, so let me know if you notice this and I'll update further. I feel quite out of the...

A note on Conan's general chronology around this time: it is certainly tempting to combine Conan's two trips to Zamora around this time into one, which would be easily feasible. However, Roy's chronology tells us Conan returns to Zamora, detours into Ophir, heads to Zamora again, and then returns d...

They certainly are, Dave Dean went on to appear in Mystic Comics #1 (March 1940), and has been referenced in the handbooks. John Aman (Amazing Man)'s first mainstream Marvel appearance was in Immortal Iron Fist #8 (October 2007). While CMRO's extended order is certainly interesting and a valuable as...

This one's a quick one. The story isn't listed in Roy's chronology, and I agree with Col_Fury's general placement around SAVSCO 77, but I would place this before SAVSCO 77 rather than after. While it's unclear which Zamorian excursion of Conan's this takes place in, I'm drawn to agree with a later p...

A potential problem I see with this suggested placement is that Conan loses his soul in SAVSCO 55 and doesn't regain it until SAVSCO 218/2. I'd have to look at SAVSCO 217-218/2 to see how soulless Conan acts, and if anything in SAVSCO 100, SAVSCO 84, COB 5 & SAVSCO 81 contradicts any of that. K...

This one's a quick one, promise! Roy lists SAVSCO 104 as immediately following SAVSCO 93, again because they have related stories. I already discussed why SAVSCO 93 was placed incorrectly (https://chronologyproject.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18492), now I'm here for the sequel! :lol: 104 tel...

CONAN THE BARBARIAN v3 #1 [#276] (March 2019) NOTE: In Zamora, Conan is young but has already killed many men, beasts and wizards. Also, he’s traveled on the Road of Kings (a reference to COB 7-12). He’s in Zamora and around the Maul in SAVSCO 53-58 and leaves for Shadizar at the end, so I’ll say t...

SAVSCO 161 is currently placed according to Thomas' chronology, between SAVSCO 118 and COB 8 (with the MCP placing SAVSCO 77/3 in that same period as well). I don't believe this placement makes sense, and that the two were only placed together due to the connected stories, as Roy tends to have a hab...

A brief notes regarding this: ​I'm not sure if COB:CIM is the correct listing for this issue. The story was first printed in Power Records #31, a non-Marvel publication, before appearing in COB 116 with 3 additional story pages added to the start of the story. As COB 116 was the first Marvel printin...

Yet another Conan post! This time, I'm looking at the three adaptations of Andrew Offutt's novels Conan and the Sorcerer (SAVSCO 53-55), Conan the Mercenary (SAVSCO 217-218), and Conan and the Sword of Skelos (SAVSCO 56-58). These are currently placed all in succession of one another according to Ro...

When I have eventually made a script for the comics released in 1939, I will post a doc with the script, so that it can be double checked by you guys, to make sure I don't accidenitilly say something, that is just completely wrong, if I am given permission to post the doc by the admins. It's defini...

Fair criticisms. It's easy to see how the listings here might scare off casual fans, who otherwise could eventually become...not-so-casual fans. All I can say is the MCP has certainly been entirely responsible for my descent into chronology-induced madness over the last 6 or so years. However, the ...

The only spot I’m seeing for COB3 3 (which technically lasts “months”) that fits all the criteria (age, occupation, geography) is before SAVSCO 118. Works perfectly there as I can tell, realistically has to be after COB 7 ("been thieving his way across Nemedia for months"), but likely bef...

I believe SAVSCO 93 is misplaced in Thomas' chronology, and resultantly the MCP listings. The Earth-616 portion of the story takes place in Shadizar, although Conan has not yet visited this city yet. Only a slight adjustment is required (SAVSCO 104 is moved as well as it is a sequel to 93, and thus ...

Conan is described as young and is still wearing his three-disc necklace thing. He’s already in Shadizar here, having already arrived. Conan first visits Shadizar in COB 6, where he loses his helmet. He’s still in Shadrizar in COB:HOA before moving on to the Road of Kings in COB 7. CONAN …… COB 6 C...
