Invaders, created in the 1970s, features characters from Marvel’s 1930s and 1940s creations. Meanwhile,Marvel Comics Presents was created in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a biweekly anthology title featuring characters like Wolverine, who debuted in 1974.

Both titles were introduced along with a number of future revival titles, including Journey Into Unknown Worlds, War Is Hell, and Crypt of Shadows.
