Presumably there is a way to convert an Excel spreadsheet to html-something-or-other, but I don’t know how to do it. Monsieur Fiore, if you would like a copy of the actual spreadsheet, I am happy to e-mail it to you. But in the meantime, here is a general breakdown of how Claremont’s X-Men’s publishing schedule matched up with Dave Sim’s Cerebus schedule. (Note, the Cerebus schedule I’m using is back-engineered. The Claremont one is too, but that one is a bit more thoroughly researched and worked out.)
Cerebus #1 is published in December of 1977, the same month as Uncanny X-Men #110, which contains fill-in art after two issues of John Byrne art. Thus, Cerebus’ beginning corresponds quite closely with the start of Claremont/Byrne on X-Men.
Cerebus #25, which ends the first trade (and features the death of Charles X. Claremont and concludes the whole Claremont/Man-Thing/Dr. Strange pastiche), is concurrent with Uncanny X-Men #147 (note that three months earlier, Man-Thing appeared in Uncanny #144, along with a Dr. Strange villain).
During the publication of High Society (C26-51), X-Men went through the second Cockrum phase, which contains issues 150 and 161 – the deepening of Magneto. We also get almost the entire “From the Ashes” arc, a classic stretch of material with art by Paul Smith. (Paul Smith’s final issue of Uncanny X-Men is concurrent with Cerebus #52, part 1 of Church and State)
Note also that Uncanny X-Men #160 – the first appearance of a vest-wearing, third-person-speaking demon named S’ym is published concurrently with Cerebus #37.
The stretch taking us from the first part of Church of State Vol. 1 to the conclusion of Church of State Vol. 2 (Cerebus 113), sees Claremont taking us roughly from issue 175 (the wedding of Madelyne Pryor and Scott Summers) to the beginning of “Inferno” (wherein Maddy Pryor – seduced by S’ym into demonhood -- ascends to the role of “Goblin Queen,” before committing suicide and thus being written out of the series).
Jaka’s Story (C114-138) is concurrent with the post-Inferno phase, when Claremont attempted a long, ambitious storyline that tears the X-Men apart and forces them to slowly find their way back together. They finally all find each other around Uncanny #272, which is concurrent with Cerebus 140 (Chapter 2 of Melmoth)
And Claremont’s final year on the title, with several arcs resolved and tied up – usually thanks to editorial mandate – before Claremont becomes fed up and leaves the title, takes the same amount of time as Melmoth, which of course ends with Cerebus getting a bit fed up and taking his sword to some folks …
X-Men #3, Claremont’s final X-Men issue of his original run, is published in October of 1991, concurrently with Cerebus 151, the start of “The Second Half.”
