Speaking of GS Defenders #1, I'm curious.  Why is GS Defenders #1 (dated July '74) listed on pg. 183?  This puts it ahead of Defenders #13 (dated May '74, on pg. 220).  I was thinking that GS D #1 would be listed either before or after Defenders #14 (dated July '74, pg. 240).  What info am I missing that would explain the order of these books?  Was the placement of GSD#1 done simply to avoid breaking up the story between D #13 & #14?  Why not place GSD #1 after D #14?  Emot_help


GS DEFENDERS #1 takes place between DEFENDERS #12 and #13 (Subby still has his green trunks rather than his new costume acquired in SUB-MARINER #67), so they placed it in it's correct place based on chronology rather than on-sale date.
See also p.185 of MMW Defenders #2 (or p. 2 of GS Defenders #1) and the footnote that says, "You guessed it!  This yarn takes place before the world-shaking events of the Defenders #13 -- R.T. "


My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!
