- The most unlikely traveling companions are back! This Valiant special
edition hardcover collects the full Archer & Armstrong origin story
from issues #0-6 for the first time ever, digitally recolored and including the
all-new story, "Formation of the Sect," detailing how the secret organization
came to power, by legendary creator Jim Shooter, illustrators Sal Velluto and
Bob Almond, and with an all-new cover by legendary artist Michael Golden!- When Archer's preacher parents betray and try to murder him, he goes in
search of enlightenment, returning years later seeking revenge as the world's
greatest hand-to-hand fighter. However, instead of revenge he finds Armstrong,
the centuries-old immortal wanderer who spends his time drinking, fighting, and
spinning tales of his hedonistic adventures throughout history! When a ruthless
cult and its bumbling agents try to enlist Archer to kill Armstrong (the one
they believe to be the Devil), the two most unlikely traveling companions turn
the tables and team up to face down the threat that could destroy the
world!
