No. Comet brightness depends on the actual brightness, but also on the distance from the Sun. In 1986, Halley's Comet was not very bright, because it was far from Earth. The previous appearance in 1910 was distinctly brighter, but still wasn't even the brightest comet of the year; the "Great Daylight Comet of 1910" was visible during the day!
