What the title says. It has occurred to me that we have a lot of old long running verses on the wiki. I thought it would be interesting to see who's the oldest.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
 
cartoon verses should be up there for still-running (kinda) old stuff
 
Like when they were made.

Like Kamen Rider is 50 years old this year.
 
Mario is 40.

I think I should specify, franchises only. One off things like the Epic of Gilgamesh don't count.
 
Also if we want to go with long running shit, DC is 1934, Mickey is like 1928.
Do we wanna count Frankenstein? It's 1818.

D&D

I would be shocked if D&D placed in the top 10. It has the most written content, I think, but it is a far cry from oldest.
 
Also I don't think mythology is a franchise to be honest.

Cthulhu Mythos is probably one of the oldest ones, Disney is... arguable, but I think it can count, given Kingdom Hearts sorta conglomerates it all into one entity. For the most part.
 
Theres also Dune which is 56 years old, and LOTR which is like 67, so those are pretty old too.

And before you ask, Dune isn't on the wiki quite yet but I plan on introducing it soon >.>

Also Godzilla is prolly the same age as LOTR
 
While not a franchise or verse page, we have a composite page for Felix the Cat who is 102 years old.
 
Theres also Tom and Jerry which started around 1940, which would make it like 81. Looney Tunes is even older than that, at 91.
 
VSBW doesn't deserve Dune profiles.

How old Nasuverse and One Piece right now?

Younger than many, they're both about 20-25 years according to Google.

For the record, since the OP specified franchises, I believe we're not just doing oldest verses. Franchises are different.
 
Of the current suggestions, in order:
  • Nasuverse: 23 years
  • One Piece: 24 years
  • World of Darkness: 30 years
  • Super Mario: 38 years
  • Dungeons and Dragons: 47 years
  • Kamen Rider: 50 years
  • Scooby-Doo: 52 years
  • Ultraman: 55 years
  • Dune: 56 years
  • G.I. Joe: 57 years (This is the bottom of the Top 10 at time of writing)
  • Godzilla: 67 years
  • Astro Boy: 70 years
  • Lord of the Rings: 73 years
  • Tom and Jerry: 81 years
  • Marvel Comics: 82 years
  • DC Comics: 87 years
  • Looney Tunes: 91 years
  • Cthulhu Mythos: 93 years
  • Disney: 97 years

The Hobbit book came out in 1937 so shouldnt LOTR be 84 years (Technically 83 until September)?

Also the first edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out in 1987 so thats 34 years.
