Marvel's Earth-616 Timeline

Okay, here's what I found in regards to Medusa that still needs adding (pre-1961):
  • U.S.A. Comics #6 (October, 1942)
  • Mystery Tales #17 (September, 1953)
  • Tales of Suspense (1959) #10 (February, 1960)

Okay, for U.S.A. Comics #6, it's the first story ("The Ghost's Gaze of Death!") that only matters for Medusa. Not sure if you plan to expand the timeline to include pre-1960s comics from Timey/Atlas, but probably would be a good idea to consider down the line.

Now, as for timeline, the main story takes place in 1942, going off of Cap's dialogue. The story also features a somewhat abridged retelling of Medusa's demise from Steve to Bucky, with accompanying flashbacks.

Anyways, enough dilly-dallying. Here's the timeline notes:
1300 BCE

U.S.A. Comics #6, "The Ghost's Gaze of Death!" (Pg. 3-4) [Earth-616]
1942

BTW, what colour would Death fall under, since I'm considering doing timeline placements for a comic series that involved her.

For specific genres outside of main teams, in this case "supernatural" Marvel comics, one uniform color per genre.

What color though, I dunno. Just helps generize it to avoid 1000s of different colored text in a timeline.

Given Death's nature as a Cosmic Entity, I'd imagine she falls under the Marvel Cosmos section, which would be weird for the stories I'm adding, which are mainly set during WW2, yet feature her in them.

If I forgot to do It remind me, Dredd.

For those curious... I decided that I'd do the War is Hell comic series, specifically issues 9 to 15, due to the first eight only being reprints, whereas the final seven issues have original stories set during WW2.

Kowalski's first encounter with Ostergan has a mention of Hitler preparing to invade Poland "tomorrow", placing that scene on August 31st.
