Perioids

See also Chronological Story List.

We can divide Mr. Corben's comic stories into clear perioids. During certain time of perioids he was doing comics mostly for certain publisher/genre. Here is listed all Mr. Corben comic stories according his perioids. If perioids are partly overlapping, comics are placed into perioid they belong to (according publication).

Pre-Fantagor Perioid contains comics after Warren (out of Heavy Metal and Fantagor) till around 1990. Post-Fantagor contains everything after that till around 2002 (excluding Super Hero comics). Underground Perioid suppoused to end around 1974, but I added also Hot Stuf' comics there (till year 1977), as well Fantagor #5 (1983), which suppoused to be around Fantagor or Pre-. In Super Hero Perioid I added "Pre-Super Hero" story X-Men: "Heroes for Hope" (1985), which is actually out of Perioid.

Mr. Corben's most latest perioid is called as "Expanding Perioid". It includes everything after 2003 (excluding Super Hero comics).

"Den [I]" (short story version) belongs clearly into Underground Perioid, but it is located here into Heavy Metal, because there the story was stretched as a full feature adventure.

"Bodyssey" was originally a short story, like vise. It was called as "Pilgor, Dreams of a Magic Planet" (5 pgs), but never published in English, though almost all around the Europe it is known (France, Germany, Italy and Spain)! In this case, both titles are inclued.
