In Dark Horse's two-issue 1995 The Shadow and Doc Savage, one of the characters is Dr. Reinstein, the man who created Captain America's super soldier serum. I don't know if this story is compatible with 616 continuity, especially with Reinstein having a daughter named Bernice, but it's a fun use of a Marvel character in another company's story.

Now's Sting of the Green Hornet miniseries from 1992 includes full cameos in issue #2 by Steve Rogers, Nick Fury, and Dum Dum Dugan. Issue #3 also (if memory serves) includes a reference to Namor, but he doesn't actually appear. If this series is compatible with 616 continuity (there's already a 616 version of the Lone Ranger, so why not his great nephew the Green Hornet?), it would be fun to have an easter egg reference to it in one of their handbook updates (probably not Cap or Nick, since they have so many appearances, but maybe Dum Dum?).

Laralei was a character in Kull the Destroyer #22-29. According to the author, Don Glut, she is actually Graylin, a character from Dagar the Invincible. It seems that Glut intended for Graylin/Laralei and Dagar to live in the same world as Kull. I'm not sure if Dagar's continuity (and those of the other Gold Key comics that crossed over with him) are compatible with 616 continuity, but it would be cool if they were.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as an easter egg or a proper cameo, but in Dark Shadows #34, Barnabus Collins travels through a portal, and we see Agamotto and Silver Dagger as they were depicted in Dr. Strange's title. There's also a brief appearance of Clea. I'm hoping a future handbook entry for any of those characters acknowledges this crossover, even if only obliquely.

I hope the entry on the blue area of the moon will explain that some of the golden age stories that take place somewhere on the moon were actually in the blue area. :-)

Back at capesoptional, I had posted a number of fictional countries that were never placed in the Marvel Atlas, no doubt because they are obscure and easy to miss, or else the writers of the Atlas didn't have the space to cover them. Unfortunately, I lost all of my research on this fun topic due to a computer crash, so I have tried to recover whatever I can of it from various sources. Below is what I have been able to cobble together, but I know there were others beyond what I have below. If anyone can find any others (I'm pretty sure there were others in Royal Roy, for example), I would be very interested in any info on these obscure countries posted in this thread.
…
Alslavia (Marvel Mystery Comics #22)
Attainia (American Ace stories)
Boravia (Joker Comics #1, also in Spider-Man newspaper strip, but that's a different continuity)
Bestria (Star Detective Magazine vol. 1 #2 [Aug 1935])
Bruklan (The Ghost Rider [Rex Fury] #11)
Bukarina (Star Detective vol. 2 #4 [Jul 1938])
Caruthia (Strange Tales #18)
Cashalot (Royal Roy)
Castile D'Or (American Ace stories)
Cavernia (Journey into Mystery #39)
Costaguay (Chamber of Chills #5)
Druzek (Mystic #49)
Grunau (Astonishing #51)

Matador, el (Crash Comics #2 [strongman story])
Mazidor, El (Spellbound #23)
Molivia (Marvel Mystery Comics #5)
Nichestein (Battle #16)
Polaria (Crash Comics #5 [Strongman story])
Prussland (Red Raven Comics #1)

Tigora (Marvel Super Special #34)
Valley of the Mists (hides an unnamed fictional country, Adventures into Terror #27)
Vani Hu (Adventures into Weird Worlds #29)
Wazar (Astonishing #59)
Any more fictional countries (old or new) that an updated Marvel Atlas should place?

Loki wrote:Matador's entry identifies him as once being known as "el Supremo" while at the height of his bull-fighting career in Spain, until the Hulk derailed things. This references what I believe is the very first non-US Marvel story which appeared in the British weekly Smash! #38.
Didn't Brazil beat that story by publishing original Black Rider stories in the 50s?
