Star-Lord (Peter Quill) Reading Order
This reading order is designed to give an outline of major storylines featuring Star-Lord (Peter Quill) throughout Marvel Comics. It does not encompass every one of his appearances, but is an outline 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.
Silver-Bronze Age
These comics detail the first appearances of the Star-Lord character. However, later comics retcon this specific version as a completely separate character from the modern iteration. Because of this, readers technically could consider this entire age of the Star-Lord Reading Order to be non-essential.
Despite these retcons, many elements from this prototype Star-Lord would go on to influence the modern version of the character. This includes his signature weapon, elements from his costume, and pieces of his history. For these reasons, reading about this version of the character can give fans a better picture of the modern version of the character.
