*Archie: In the mid-1960s, the Archie Adventure Series rebranded as the Mighty Comics Group, and their flagship title, the Adventures of the Fly, after a short dalliance as Fly Man, morphed into the super-hero anthology Mighty Comics Presents, complete with a masthead very similar to a more successful competitor. Unfortunately, they didn’t have Lee, Kirby or Ditko on board and the talents of Jerry Siegel and Paul Reinman weren’t quite up to it. Nevertheless, the stories have a naive charm and the whole package of Mighty Comics had a unique and kitsch appeal. Mighty Comics Presents had a rotating cast of heroes old and new, including the hen-pecked Web, the Shield, the Black hood, Steel Sterling, Mr Justice, the Hangman, the Fox and more. Lasting just 11 issues, all in this package, Mighty Comics Presents is assured of its niche in comics’ history.
