James Allison) implies that he doesn't believe any of them existed; however, Perseus, Beowulf, and Siegfried all do exist in the Prime Marvel Universe, and while Allison may be correct that the legend of Saint George and the Dragon is fictional, that does not mean Saint George himself is fictional. Historically, George was a Christian saint for hundreds of years before the legend of the dragon was attached to his life story. * James Allison) refuses to precise the era, and so does the authors in the "Thriller Fillers" letter page of Supernatural Thrillers Vol 1 7, mentioning as possibilities "before the time of Kull", "between Kull's reign and the time of Conan", or "long after Conan".Supernatural Thrillers Vol 1 7|; Thriller Fillers, answer to Bob Hobart ** However, two elements known to be set circa 9,500 BC are mentioned in the issue that could hints to the latter hypothesis, during the Hyborian Age, at least after circa 9,500 BC (though could be coincidences): *** Iron was introduced to the Hyborian Age Picts) circa 9,500 BC.Savage Sword of Conan Vol 1 15|; The Hyborian Age - Chapter 5: Fire and Slaughter The Picts encountered by Niord_(Earth-616))'s tribe used iron swords. *** Later, during the same era, a tribe of Aesir) went southwards into Nemedia (becoming the Nemedian Aesir).
