Marvel Presents was an American comic book anthology series published by Marvel Comics. Twelve issues were published from October 1975 to August 1977.
Marvel Presents began publication with an October 1975 cover date. The first two issues featured Ulysses Bloodstone. It is most notable for giving the Guardians of the Galaxy their first regular series, from issues #3 to #12, by Steve Gerber and Al Milgrom with Roger Stern replacing Gerber as writer as of issue #10. Issue #7 (Nov. 1976) depicted an obvious sex act in a Comics Code-approved comic book, between Vance Astro and Nikki. It presumably made it past the code because Nikki was outside her physical body and Vance was in the mind of the Topographical Man, a humanoid heavenly body. The series was cancelled with issue #12 (August 1977) due to low sales.
