... SUPERMAN - DC, SPIDER-MAN Marvel, ARCHIE, Gold Key... my favorite of the Archie stories were the ones that had a "surreal" quality. Some of these stories I found were reprinted in the Archie Digests. Very creative, I think. I also liked Jingles, a surreal character the had around Christmas. I would say my favorite was the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES. The feature "grew" and it was the one I continued to read as an adult.
