Exclusive: Archer & Armstrong Forever Returns Valiant's Duo To Its Comic Universe
With several of their most beloved characters and series back on comic book stands, the time has come for Archer & Armstrong Forever to bring Valiant Entertainment's fan-favorite and adventurous duo back to the spotlight. When the carefree, hard-drinking, and immortal Aram Anni-Padda, a.k.a. Armstrong, seemingly loses his ability to heal from any wound and believes his days as an immortal are finally coming to an end, his young and optimistic best friend Obadiah Archer will travel the world in search of mythical artifacts to save his friend.
