Marvel Handbooks, Indices, etc Chronology

I created this thread on Comixfan on Jun 29, 2011, 07:25 pm. As I expect to update the first post once new material resumes, the rest of the historical text will start with the second post.

I thought it might be fun to chart the publication history of the Handbooks and similar books published by Marvel over the years.

NEW: Everyone is now listed by exact release date. Publication month (and year where different or where no month present) in parentheses. Note: I did spot some errors when searching for release dates but in some cases put them in anyway as placeholders until the correct date can be determine.

I’m listing borderline cases but with the exception of Contest of Champions, which is an important prototype, am not listing books that simply have a few entries in the back or the like. I decided to intermingle the Handbooks, Files type books, Saga books, and the Index books to get a sense of how much reference output Marvel was produced. Only stuff published by Marvel is noted below, despite the irony of the Powers Encyclopedia qualifying and the first Marvel Index not qualifying as a result.

For trade paperbacks I only cover first printings. I probably overlooked some of the files stuff put out during the 1990s. I did use Wikipedia and the Overstreet guide for some of the info; both have accuracy challenges so corrections welcomed.
