How can I make comments stand out, have you any suggestions using different characters which validate?

But have a play around, test things out, see what works. There is no standard set for how comments are presented.

I'll try to clear it up. <! is a markup declaration open delimiter, for example a doctype declarations and comment declarations. Whatever follows <! tells you what sort of declaration it is, for example doctype in the case of a doctype declaration.
The issue occurs because the comment open delimiter is the same as the comment close delimiter. -- both opens and closes the comment so <!-- --this comment was just closed before the word this and not after the rest of this text -->.
Does that help?
