A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong #2

Rafer Roberts and Mike Norton take Valiant's beloved odd-couple duo into fresh territory with this 2016 installment subtitled "Romance and Road Trips." The cover by José Ángel Cano López frames a tender, sun-drenched moment: a young man with a crossbow slung across his back holds hands with a red-haired woman in a long dress, the two gazing at each other amid a lush silhouette of leaves and billowing clouds. It's a surprisingly warm and heartfelt image for a series also promising a story called "Next Stop Clowntown!" — proof that A&A knows how to balance genuine emotion with wild adventure.
