People at Marvel realized that kids might wanna become artist or writers in their own right. So they decided to make a comic that was official and could be drawn and written and sent back to Marvel.

Captain Americas original partner from the 1940 comics, Bucky came back and turned into the Nomad. He would team with Captain America for a while before splitting.

An idea that was later excepted was denied and put people in outrage which was just redoing the stories for certain people and that is what happens all the time now.

Wolverine got his own comic series and with the success of Dark Pheniox Marvel launched another X-man comic series along with a new Captain Marvel series and she would end up replacing the Wasp as leader of the Avengers.

Marvel Started creating graphic novels and they were to compete with European like books and they were mostly all made by the best creators in the company. They were a complete story instead of having a multi part comic series they did one story within the book.

Some more advancements happened with the animated tv shows and lots of new villains were introduced like a group called the HAND.

The X-Men story called Days of Future Past was created in 1981 where Wolverine warned the X-Men from the past about the sentinels. Sentinels are robots that find and kill mutants. This was a very popular story and would even be made into a movie.

In the late 1980s marvel had the comic citizens want Captain America run for president and he turned it down after not wanting to have to do so much. The U-Foes were create and they have some stupid powers.

The X-Men series had its biggest known story about jean grey who had turned into the Pheniox and became uncontrolled and was dangerous and was needed to be stopped. Stan Lee accepted a bunch of movie projects about characters. One of these characters was made for a movie and she was called the Dazzler along with She Hulk being created.

Justin Hammer was introduced in 1979 to go against Iron Man and in the late 70s early 80s Marvel started to ship comics to comic book specific stores and even made series you could only get within the stores.
