When Does "The Kents" #10 (1998) Take Place?
"The Kents" #10 "To the Stars by Hard Ways" Part 2 is a western historical fiction comic-book written by John Ostrander that released March 4th, 1998. So when is "The Kents" #9 set?

Finally, near the end of the issue another excerpt opens 'From the journal of Nathaniel Kent-- "November 13, 1868' so we can assume the plot has moved into November of 1868 AD at the end.
Additionally, the issue includes a prologue with Jonathan "Pa" Kent writing to Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman set in ‘the present’ of the DC Universe. This is unplaceable at this time.
Finally, there is a flashback to ?.
It is a chronologically early comic in the DC Comics Universe multiverse timeline and can be read at its timeline point after the previous issue, "The Kents" #9 (1998).
