BWS's last arc 1-12, He was at the top of his game and just had these characters down perfectly. I still laugh every time Armstrong calls Solar Magnus.

I am partial to the issues where they meet Andromeda, Armstrong's wife. I think this was issues 5 and 6. Is that right?

I really liked this story because it really fleshed out both of the character's really well. Despite Armstrong being a rough drunkard, he has class and taste and is a total romantic. Archer, with all his mental, physical and spiritual discipline, is still totally naive and in some ways immature, especially around women. This story demonstrated that to me in a fun and charming way.

0-12. I agree about the Andy issues. Especially the scenes with Flo and where Andy swears Archer to keeping his mouth shut about knowing of her true nature. BWS had a classic going that year. ::sniff::

#0. I actually forgot that it started with #0, and had never read it until recently. :oops: I felt even worse after I finished it because I had missed out such an amazing comic for 15 years.

My pick exactly. I still laugh at that story as Archer's reactions to the nuns is still priceless.

#0....

Followed by #0....


And, then if I was pressed, I'd pick #0 as my third favorite!
