INDIANA JONES COVER GALLERY...

Likely spurred on by the success of their STAR WARS comic series,

MARVEL decided to go down the same route with INDIANA JONES.  In

1981, they released a three issue adaptation of RAIDERS Of The LOST

ARK, and there were also adaptations of The TEMPLE Of DOOM and

The LAST CRUSADE, published in 1984 and '89, respectively.

However, never one to do things by halves, Marvel gave Indy his own

monthly title at the end of '82 (first issue cover-dated January '83) called

The FURTHER ADVENTURES Of INDIANA JONES, which lasted

until #34, cover-dated for March '86 (which means it probably went on

sale around December '85).  Got all that?  Good - now forget it.

What we're here to look at today is the British Marvel Monthly called

simply INDIANA JONES, which ran for eleven issues and a Christmas

Special between the cover dates of October 1984 and August '85.  (They

were probably dated a month in advance, at the very least.)

So that's all you really need to know as you sit back and prepare to

peruse the dozen covers that await your attention.  To be honest, some of

them are pretty lacklustre, which probably accounts for the monthly mag

lasting for less than a year.  Nevertheless, a trip back in time is usually

worth the journey, so strap yourselves in and let's go!
