published December 8, 2014

Earth-1A Titles (Earth-B / Earth-32)
Sometimes humorous, but mostly serious though often light-hearted stories, these take place on a world much like Earth-1 but with several differences that make them incompatible with regular Earth-1 continuity. We place them here under the Earth-12 umbrella since there is a lot of crossover with Earth-12, despite not technically classifying as Earth-12 stories in the humor genre.
