Archer & Armstrong Vol 1 11

Ahem...permit me to explain in layhuman terms... In the same sense that one person cannot occupy two spaces concurrently, Ivar Timemaster's future presence in his own past created a paradox that in turn created a dynamic displacement effect. Essentially pushing hapless victims out of their own time through the portal created by disheveled human Aram.

Synopsis[]

A motley group of temporal refugees have taken Archer, Armstrong and his brother, Ivar, prisoner. They put Ivar on trial, intent on stringing him up for snatching them from their respective times. Only Solar's arrival is able to disrupt the proceedings. Using his powers, Solar returns everyone to when they belong, then he carries off Archer and Armstrong to their next adventure.^[1]

Notes[]

Ivar and F-7 really jump to North Am in 4,002 A.D. (instead of Ancient Egypt) as seen at the beginning of Magnus, Robot Fighter #33 (February, 1994).
Jimi Hendrix asks Solar to get him back to Cumberland Hotel in 1972. That means he is either an impersonator or, more likely, it means that Jimi Hendrix is still alive in the Valiant Universe created by Solar. In real life, Jimi had already died in 1970 and the Cumberland Hotel was the site where he had given his final interview six days before his death.

Quotes[]

Listen to me, Red Man-- tell Armstrong-- I'm going to destroy him. Tell him... his fate awaits him... at the end of the world!

Yeah...er...say thanks for that update, F-7.

-- Armstrong

You're welcome.

-- F-7

Without my satchel, I don't have magic goodies to help you out-- to undo this whole thing.

-- Armstrong

I love you, Aram... don't forget about me.
