Arch

Arch is a soldier featured in DC's Silver Age war comics, appearing in G.I. Combat and Our Army at War between 1966 and 1968. He inhabits the gritty frontline world shared by iconic DC war heroes like Sgt. Rock and Lt. Jeb Stuart.

A soldier born in the thick of DC's Silver Age war comics, Arch debuted in G.I. Combat #117 in 1966, brought to life by the legendary team of Robert Kanigher and Russ Heath — two of the finest craftsmen the genre ever produced. His brief but memorable run across G.I. Combat and Our Army at War puts him in remarkable company, sharing pages with icons like Sgt. Rock and Lt. Jeb Stuart. With only five catalog appearances across a tight 1966–1968 window, Arch is the kind of compact, atmospheric character that makes digging through Silver Age war books such a rewarding hunt for collectors who love the gritty, beautifully illustrated storytelling that defined DC's combat titles of that era.
