A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong Deluxe Edition (HC)

Solicitation[]

Join Harvey Award-nominated writer Rafer Roberts (HARBINGER RENEGADE) and superstar artists David Lafuente (Ultimate Spider-Man) and Mike Norton (Revival) as they take Valiant’s (somewhat) dynamic duo on an all-out assault on the senses right here in the complete deluxe edition hardcover of the series The A.V. Club calls “some of the most bold, original work in all of superhero comics right now…”

Meet Armstrong: Since the ancient city of Ur, this immortal adventurer has spent the last 7,000 years drinking and carousing his way through history alongside some of the greatest merrymakers the world has ever known.

Meet Archer: A sheltered teenage martial arts master and expert marksman that was raised for a single purpose – to kill the devil incarnate. Little did he know that this undying evil was actually Armstrong (he’s actually a pretty good guy… once you get to know him) and, since hitting the road together, the two have become great friends and even better partners.

Now: Archer is about to set off on his most dangerous mission yet – a quest into the mystic reaches of Armstrong’s bottomless satchel to liberate his friend and comrade from the clutches of the mad god Bacchus!

Collecting A&A: THE ADVENTURES OF ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #1-12, IMMORTAL BROTHERS: TALE OF THE GREEN KNIGHT #1, and ARMSTRONG AND THE VAULT OF SPIRITS #1 along with more than 20 pages of rarely seen art and extras!

Notes[]

In 2016, a short series of small, black-and-white ashcan comics both written and drawn by Rafer Roberts were sent to some retailers throughout the United States and Canada. They were made to promote A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong, and while not strictly "official" or intended for retail sale, the first issue was reprinted in this collection and thus catalogued on here. The sequel issue is represented with its cover, but is not available otherwise.
- The story featured here is incredibly light-hearted and comical, so even if its "official" status wasn't in question, it still should not be taken as "canon". It is primarily just a parody of major comic book events from the 1980s and 1990s, with the addition of Armstrong's presence. Most of these aren't even stories published by Valiant, instead by other publishers like Marvel and DC.
