The Eagle was a famous comic in the 60s Britain that was launched in the 90s and teenaged me was a fan.
Dan Dare was the most famous character. It was typical science fiction with him as the hero against an evil alien mastermind called the Meekon.
The best thing they did was Charlie's War, which was a brilliant (and I later found out) historically accurate portrait of the lives of British soldiers in world war one trenches. I didn't pull any punches in depicting the hellish conditions and characters you like would die. At age twelve we went on a school trip to the trenches of the Somme in Belgium.
I've never been into superhero comics but The Watchmen is brilliant.
