''[=NiGHTS Into Dreams...=]'' is a 1998 Creator/ArchieComics adaptation of Creator/{{Sega}}'s ''VideoGame/NightsIntoDreams'' video game, written by a pre-Marvel Creator/DanSlott. Initially released as a three-issue miniseries, the comic became so popular a second miniseries was made as a sequel to the story.

* FusionDance: Jackle combines a Nightmaren and Nightopian to make a Mepian, which gives Wizeman advice on how to stop Elliot and Claris.

The first series adapts the overall plot of the game it was based on, with a healthy dose of AdaptationExpansion focusing on Elliot and Claris's lives in the waking world, including a subplot where Elliot's basketball rival, Roger, falls in with the evil Wizeman and Reala. The second series, written by Karl Bollers, strayed from the game adaptation formula and focused on Elliot and Claris bringing [=NiGHTS=] into the real world, while with Wizeman's defeat, Reala took over as lord of nightmares and was eager for revenge.

* OutsideGenreFoe: The second miniseries had a subplot about a terrorist group named R.E.M. who wanted to destroy Twin Seeds' tower.
