When Does "Madame Xanadu" #3-#4 (2008) Take Place?

"Madame Xanadu" #3 "Chapter the Second: Among the Stars" to "Madame Xanadu" #4 are historical fiction fantasy comic-books written by Matt Wagner that premiered August 27th, 2008. So when is "Madame Xanadu" set? 


It takes place on the fictional DC Comics Universe timeline in the year: 

1274 AD 


We know this because the real-world Italian explorer Marco Polo appears and he was born around 1254 AD and passed on January 8th, 1324 AD. So it must be long after 1254 AD. 

More specifically, the real-world Mongol Emperor of China Kublai Khan also appears and he was born on September 23rd, 1215 AD and passed on February 18th, 1294 AD. So it must be before or during February of 1294 AD. 

Specifically, Polo and his family arrive in China? early in the story and . Marco Polo, his father and his uncle arrived together at Kanbaliq/Xanadu/Shangdu, China in the real world in August? of 1274 AD. So it must be August of 1274 AD. 

It is a chronologically early comic in the DC Comics Universe multiverse timeline (an early chronological story to feature Nimue Inwudu/Madame Xanadu) and can be read at its timeline point or as an extended flashback.
