DescriptionArcher & Armstrong # 7 February 1993"About twenty miles north of Angouleme." pg 12 Inks over pencil on Valiant Comics art board Writer: Barry Windsor-Smith Pencils: Art Nichols Inks: Bob Wiacek (Signed lower left) Corrections: Barry Windsor-Smith After meeting Bob Wiacek, he told me that Barry made all the editorial art corrections himself. So the addition of Alexander Dumas's book on Archer's lap was done by him. Obadiah Archer is a boy with a special talent and some very unusual parents. Once he escapes their clutches, he embarks on an international adventure that will take him from the sacred halls of a Tibetan monstrary to the filthy underpasses of Los Angeles. And when a mysterious stranger hires him to assassinate the inebriated immortal known as Armstrong, the world's most mismatched crimfighting duo is born! Archer & Armstrong was a highly successful comic book by Valiant Comics, with sales of 350,000 books a month. The first series featured writing and art by comic great Barry Windsor-Smith (creator of Red Sonja). Obadiah Archer ("Archer") is the world’s greatest hand-to-hand fighter, an expert marksman, a combat-imitative harbinger and a seeker of truth and righteousness. Since his parents attempted to murder him, Archer has committed himself to vanquishing the evils of the world. Aram "the Other" ("Armstrong") born in 3266 BC, is an immortal reprobate with the strength of a battalion. An amoral libertine who abandoned naive idealism thousands of years ago, Aram spends his days wandering the world drinking, fighting and telling stories of his unbelievable adventures. In this corner - Archer and Armstrong! In the other - a room full of viscous Sect members! It's the brawl to end all brawls, as Archer and Armstrong find themselves trapped in an ominous castle with no way out. With ancient secrets and fists lurking around every corner, Archer and Armstrong are in for a bloody good time. Continuing their romp across Europe, Archer and Armstrong run out of gas near a French chateau. Knocking for help, they discover that the mansion houses a Sect smuggling ring! Mayhem ensues as the mighty Armstrong enjoys a brawl with the criminals. But when the bad guys whip out a rocket-launcher, Archer's kung fu puts a quick end to the smugglers -- and to Armstrong's play time. Social/Sharing |

fantastic.........Thanks. It's the closest you can get to owning BWS art with out having to pay for it. It's not much with only three long panels of Archer but it compliments my other A & A 7 page and it sets up the next issue with the addition of the Alexander Dumas book under Archers note pad.
