Phantom Stranger Timeline/Reading Order

This reading order is designed to give a timeline of major Phantom Stranger storylines throughout DC Comics. It does not encompass every one of his appearances, but is a timeline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.

New 52

With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was restarted. The Phantom Stranger was introduced and given an identity for the very first time. His appearances were mostly confined to the Phantom Stranger Series but he also appeared in two major crossovers. Besides this, his appearances in other series amounted to little more than extremely brief cameos that did not effect his life much at all. This timeline tracks his life from the Phantom Stranger series to the Trinity of Sin series.

Phantom Stranger issues are from the Phantom Stranger Vol. 4 series.
