Archer & Armstrong

Barry Windsor-Smith both writes and illustrates this 2024 relaunch of Archer & Armstrong for Alien Books, reuniting the legendary creator with the odd-couple duo he originally helped define. The series pits the naive, martial-arts-trained teenager Archer against the immortal, hedonistic Armstrong, a pairing that has long served as a vehicle for sprawling, satirical adventures. With Windsor-Smith’s singular artistic vision and storytelling voice, this new chapter promises a return to the thoughtful, beautifully rendered chaos that made the characters a cult touchstone.
