Due to the backlog of Fawcett material Miller already had the company was able to prepare readers for the upcoming change. ''Captain Marvel'' #19, dated 19 December 1953, featured an in-character letter from 'Batson' to readers, telling them he planned to lead an ordinary life and would be handing over his duties to Marvelman; #24 featured the modified title ''Captain Marvel - the Marvelman'' and from #25 the title was renamed ''Marvelman'', with the new character taking over. A similar process would take place on sister title ''Captain Marvel Jr.'', which would become ''[[Young Marvelman (comic)|Young Marvelman]]''. The result was well-received by readers, and sales of ''Marvelman'' were actually larger than those of its predecessor. Anglo initially wrote and drew the strips himself; later other Gower Studio artists would work on the character, including [[James Bleach]], [[Norman Light]] and [[Don Lawrence]]. Marvelman would also occasionally appear in the pages of ''Young Marvelman'' and later starred the additional monthly title ''[[Marvelman Family]]'', which also featured [[Kid Miracleman|Kid Marvelman]]. However by 1961 sales were declining as imported American comics began to arrive on the British market, featuring full-colour strips rather than the black-and-white adventures of Marvelman. Miller switched ''Marvelman'' to a monthly reprint title, causing Anglo to unsuccessfully attempt to set up his own Anglo Features label after turning down an offer to work for Miller's son Arnold on his own venture. ''Marvelman'' finally ended in 1963, and the character went into obscurity.<ref name=MMClassic1TMS/>
