The first series featured writing and art by comic great Barry Windsor-Smith (creator of Red Sonja).

Since his parents attempted to murder him, Archer has committed himself to vanquishing the evils of the world. Aram "the Other" ("Armstrong") born in 3266 BC, is an immortal reprobate with the strength of a battalion.
