Her work included issues every year of Doctor Strange and Star Wars before completing the miniseries of four issues Beauty and the Beast (December 1984 to June 1985) which featured the superheroes Dazzler and Beast. The time that she wrote this miniseries was when Nocenti was employed by Marvel as the assistant editor to Carl Potts on such titles as The Incredible Hulk, The Defenders, Doctor Strange, and The Thing.
After collaborating with Adams on the Spider-Man feature in Web of Spider-Man Annual #2 (September 1986), and with penciler Mike Mignola on a short backup story there, Nocenti teamed with artist Barry Windsor-Smith on Daredevil #236 (November 1986).

Nocenti is featured as a character in The Avengers #215 (Jan. 1982) as a secretary for an agency for advertising that Steve Rogers visits looking for jobs.
After graduation from SUNY New Paltz, she became interested in the superhero genre after she responded to an advertisement on the Village Voice, which led to her getting her first job as a comics writer with Marvel Comics by editor Dennis O’Neil. Nocenti began her comics debut as a writer by submitting a mythological tale of six pages illustrated by Greg LaRocque, in the Marvel anthology Bizarre Adventures #32 (August 1982). Her first regular comics project in Marvel’s superhero series Spider-Woman beginning in issue 47 (December 1982). It wasn’t a very promising assignment. Marvel had already made a decision to close the series in Issue #50 (June 1983) due to the slowing sales. Under the direction of the editor Mark Gruenwald (who had himself created the series for a period), Nocenti ended the series by killing the character who was the title and a choice she was later to regret. She said “It was before I understood the intense, personal attachment the readers have to the characters. In retrospect, I realized it wasn’t a nice thing to kill a character off. As I worked in the field for a while, I developed a strong personal attachment to a lot of characters and I realized how alive they were.” In the following months, Nocenti lent a hand to the rebirth of Spider- Woman in Avengers #240-241 in the role of “story consultant”.
Nocenti and artist Arthur Adams created the character Longshot in a titular, six-issue miniseries (September 1985–February 1986). Explaining the concept of the character, which Nocenti borrowed from existentialist writers, she states, “Longshot is the idea of stripping someone of everything that they are. I never read comics, so the idea of a hero to me was different. I couldn’t think of it in terms of a ‘super hero’ hero. I thought of it more as a conceptual hero. Not having a comic book background, I tend to come up with the metaphysics before I come up with the characters. I knew that I wanted to deal with the metaphysics of luck. It was a concept that interested me … what luck is, what probability is, how you could shift probabilities towards yourself. What are the repercussions of that? So, I did a character centered around that idea. At the time, Nocenti was pursuing her Master’s degree at the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, working at the magazine Lies of Our Times, and reading the work of writers such as Marshall McLuhan, Noam Chomsky, Edward S. Herman and Walter Lippmann. Longshot’s archvillain, Mojo, a slaver and dictator who rules his dimension through the television programs he produces, was created as a direct result of these influences. A character named Manufactured Consent after the Chomsky book of the same name, who appeared in the Nocenti’s 1990 book The New Mutants Summer Special in 1990, was also born of these works.
