I can't promise anything -- if you see a guy in your line at a ComiCon with a sword (that isn't dressed up like Naruto, or whatever the kids like these days), it's probably a sign that: 1) You've done something wrong in the comics, and 2) It might be a good time to take a lunch break.

I kid, I kid.

I've been re-reading the Mirage and Archie series myself, and most stories were told in single issues. Then of course we had the usual 2 or 3 parters.

I think the only exceptions were City at War which spanned 13 issues, and Volume 2, which also spanned 13 issues.
But don't forget that the Mirage issues were often times 35, 40 pages an issue... or more. I'm pretty sure even the Archie books were a little longer than 20 pages, too.
