The major reason I joined this site was all the Golden Age Captain Marvel issues. I've been reading Whiz Comics and get that at issue 16 I can start reading Captain Marvel Adventures. Does anyone have a reading order for Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr, and Mary Marvel since it seems there is actually a lose continuity in play. Any help would be great.

Using Mike's Amazing World of Comics website, you can determine the on-sale dates of the Fawcett titles.

Mike's site is a work in progress. For my blog I use his on sale dates for most of what I post, but last year I had to go through everything and change dates because he had changed on sale dates on his site. I found this especially with the Fawcett books. His on sale date revisions for Fawcett comics had them coming out much earlier than he had originally noted.
I haven't gone through the site this year to check if there are more updates--but I would guess these dates keep changing as more information comes to light.
Fawcett had a lot of intercontinuity between characters--moreso than many other publishers in the '40s. Stories like the introduction of Captain Nazi and Captain Marvel Jr. carry over from one title to the other. The Monster Society of Evil story continued for many months.
If you go to the indexes on Mike's Amazing World of DC Comics, you can look up entries for the three main Marvels (on Earth-S) and click appearances to follow the chronology that Mike has given for them. But keep in mind that this is part fact, part conjecture and part fantasy.
Mike is trying to incorporate stories from both Fawcett and DC in the way he imagines them fitting together in continuity.

Thanks everyone. This is all very helpful.

Mike's site has just gone through some changes. All publishers have been consolidated on the site. So some of the things I said above might no longer hold true. You'll have to fiddle around with the site to find where everything is now--as will I. But the site address remains dcindexes.com.
