I just found this while doing a little Spidey research. Matt Kuhns over at Modern Ideas created cool little visual timeline for the various Spider-Man publications over the ages.
Kuhns posted “Spider-Man’s Tangled Publication-History Web” along with a bunch of fun (very nerdy) commentary, way back in October 2010. Not sure why it took me so long to see it, but it’s a nice little chart.
Exactly what I hope for from the internet! Check it out!
Wow this is fascinating! I’m pretty disappointed in you though for just now finding it :-)
The multiple titles with story crossover between various titles for one character was always the main barrier for getting into floppies when I was growing up. I’d like to see more timelines like this. Who else do you think would make an interesting one? Superman, x-men, Batman?

I’ve seen some amazingly convoluted x-men maps.
It’s tough, because as cool as this timeline is, it’s still totally unclear where to read to get the stories in order. Hopefully once I’ve finished tagging all the trades (years from now) we’ll finally have some idea.. heh

Funny…a friend of mine sent me this link yesterday. The only thing I could think of: “Where’s Spider-Man 2099?”
I’m such a dork.

haha yeah. Interesting that there’s spider-girl, but not other spider-related publications, too.
