How to read the timeline: (Last updated on 11/5/06)

1- This chart is restricted to the so-called "Marvel Age of Comics", which begins with the publication of FF #1 in Nov. 61, and includes all titles published by Marvel in that time.

2- The title column is listed in the order in which Marvel introduced title characters, sorted by superhero and then western genres. Characters which moved from title to title or changed incarnations are given separate chronologies to differentiate them.

3- The timeline begins in Nov. 61, then moves from right to left ending with FF #102 in Sep. 70. It is my judgement that the "Silver Age" of comics ended when Jack Kirby left the FF and Marvel for DC Comics, and for the purposes of the timeline, that arbitrary designation works well.

4- The issue numbers of the comics are arranged in a column before the cover date of the comic. Red numbers indicate comics that have been Masterworked. Blue numbers indicate comics that have been announced to be Masterworked. Black numbers are those issues which have yet to be reprinted in Masterworks.

5- Annuals are indicated in their appropriate month of publication, following the same month's issue with a slash.

6- ABBREVIATIONS:

ToS: Tales of Suspense

TtA: Tales to Astonish

ST: Strange Tales

MSH: Marvel Super-Heroes

SSM: Spectacular Spider-Man Magazine
