Archer & Armstrong

    (Valiant, 1992-1994)
™ and © Valiant

Archer was the son of a twisted fundamentalist minister and his equally twisted wife. Unbeknownst to their flock, the couple would conduct special “prayer sessions” where young members were tortured and killed for the sick thrill of it all. When young Obie Archer discovered his parents’ secret life, they tried to have him killed. He escaped, stowed away on a boat to Hong Kong, and eventually entered a monastery, where he would train for his eventual revenge.

Armstrong met Archer while hiding out as a down-and-out bum. In actuality, “Armstrong” is really Aram, the Eternal Warrior Gilly’s brother. When the two met, the near-immortal Armstrong was on the run from a group of assassins who believed him to be Satan. Archer came to his defense, and the two began a life of adventure together…
