How many times has Jean Grey died? I would go with 4: X-Men #100, where she first becomes Phoenix Uncanny X-Men #137, at the end of the Dark Phoenix storyline New X-Men #148, where she and Wolverine die together, only to have the Phoenix Force bring them both back. New X-Men #150, when Magneto does the deed. This doesn't take into account times that the universe has ended and everyone died, only to be brought back (Dr. Strange issues, Infinity Gauntlet shenanigans), Madelyne Pryor (technically a clone of Jean Grey with a different name), and Uncanny X-Men #281 (her body dies but she transfers her consciousness into Emma Frost).

That could never happen, as I am only fairly knowledgeable about a handful of titles, whereas Kurt just had a ridiculous amount of knowledge about dang near everything.

I have 111 images on my IMGUR account and wondering if another 150 images will be added in 2-3 weeks from now and it's still be okay to use?

Thanks for the suggested titles to possibly answer my question everyone, but I haven't had any luck. I've scoured the following titles within the time frame, and I know the story wasn't published in: Love & Rockets, Star*Reach, Marvel Preview, Bizarre Adventures, Epic Illustrated, Paragon, Hot Stuf', Alien Worlds (the cover to issue #1 got my hopes up), Witzend, and Idyl. Fantasy Illustrated looks like a contender, but I have yet to find a digital copy. I'd like to read it regardless, so maybe I'll track down a print copy.
I haven't fully researched Heavy Metal, but I really don't think that's the answer, because I'm pretty sure I would have remembered if that was the source. Still, I'll have to definitively rule it out someday if this question continues to nag me.

Has anyone ever taken the time to compile a Marvel timeline of issues from the 1960's through the 1970's? What I mean is, a timeline tying the universe together, issue by issue, so that moments when characters appear in other books, it is connected in some sort of overall timeline?
A monstrous task no doubt. I only ask because I am reading Omega The Unknown #5 and Peter Parker interacts with young boy, John-Michael, at the Daily Bugle. When does this occur in relation to his own stories? That was the thought that came to me and seemed impossible to figure out but lead me to wonder if anyone had ever mapped out such a thing. Even, perhaps, a timeline for Peter Parker/Spider-Man in all his appearances across the Marvel Universe.

Even, perhaps, a timeline for Peter Parker/Spider-Man in all his appearances across the Marvel Universe. I think it's James-Michael, but anyway. . . Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross have discussed attempting to reconcile the timeline when they undertook Marvels. They reported that they were amazed at how neatly a huge number of events across multiple titles fit into a believable timeline, and at how there seemed to be a deliberate and careful effort on the part of the creators to make it so. I haven't read it in a while and I'm paraphrasing, but they mention things like a newspaper headline in the Avengers saying that Tony Stark was visiting a foreign nation, while Iron Man was that month fighting the Mandarin in Mongolia. It was little things like that, barely noticeable, but in the aggregate they helped bolster a powerful verisimilitude. Of course, that only covers the Silver Age of Marvel and only the handful of events that Marvels deals with. The kind of reconciliation that you're suggesting would likely be many orders of magnitude more involved.

^It is James, thanks for correcting my error!
Yeah I just wondered if anyone had ever, even for one specific character, mapped a complete timeline. For example, Spidey/Peter from 1960-1980, just to see how much time elapses and where he is at certain times. It always seems non stop but some stories do have an ending, meaning that Spidey could technically get some rest between his last battle and his next adventure in the following issue, providing a time span had elapsed of say a couple weeks or months even.

I know there have been some attempts made but nothing definitive has yet to appear. My indexing projects have always been intended as a step toward that goal but my work on the TwoMorrows books has left that effort in a state of limbo for the forseeable future. Cei-U! I summon the impossible dream!

Obviously it would be difficult the longer one tries because of the times changing. I just felt that, from 1960-1980 at least, it might be semi possible. After that, well you have so many crossovers and series. And into the 90s, sheesh that would be impossible to map it all out. Even the adventures of one superhero.

Have you checked out the Marvel Chronology ProjectI can't speak to its accuracy or functionality any more (I used it a bit back about 15 years ago when someone on the Avengers Mailing List I was on introduced me to it), but it tries to do what you are looking for. -M

I think between the two of those, you should be able to reconstruct some working timeline for it.

Does anyone know how many times "Ragnarok" occurred in the Marvel Universe? I know in the mid 2000's Thor was significantly absent for several years in the MCU until his clone made an appearance in Civil War and killed the Black Goliath.

I remember reading a DC comic from the 70s (so the story may have been a reprint from earlier), probably in the House of Mystery/Secrets line. The story seemed to be about a little boy being chased around in a world of monsters, but then at the end it turned out he was really a little monster boy being chased around by regular humans. So, kind of a Twilight Zone thing. Anybody remember this one?
