Morbius had TWO books at the same time back in the 70s, taking over Adventure Into Fear, and getting the lead feature in the Vampire Tales magazine, he was getting solo material by his third or fourth storyline. He got cured after both books were cancelled, but had a comeback in the 90s, with that series, but by the time of his movie this had all been memoryholed so badly that the average 'Marvel fan' genuinely seemed to think Morbius was never anything but a Spider-Man villain of the month.

It's even more astounding considering Rom was just one figure, with no other related toys, and the comic outlasted the toy by years.

The original Guardians of the Galaxy are a good example. After a one-off debut story in the 60s, they appeared in a number of 70s Marvel books, including their own series for 10 issues. After disappearing for ten years, a 1990 relaunch lasted about 5 years, plus a spinoff mini. They've hardly ever been seen since, and have been completely overshadowed by the new version of the team that span out of Annihilation Conquest.
