Book Reviews of Indiana Jones Omnibus, Vol. 1
Book Review: Indy Returns in ALL Media
Summary: 5 Stars
Fresh on the heels of the release of the new Indiana Jones trailer and May 22nd film debut, Darkhorse Books has reprinted three complete treasure seeking adventures fans can whet their appetites on. The Indy flood not only includes comics, but also books (film adaptatons and series), but also the Young Indy Chronicles and the three previous films.
With an archaeological smorgasborg like that to choose from, you can't go hungry!
In the early 1990's, Dark Horse Comics secured the license to create new Indiana Jones adventures. Ìndiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis`was based on a Lucasfilm Game concept and written by a William Messener-Loebs and Mike Richardson. Dan Barry and Karl Kessel provided exceptional artwork on the chase through Atlantean legends and escape from the power of the Nazis. The `key`, of course, is in the possession of an old flame, Sophia Hafgood and the quest leads to danger under the oceans near Crete, to Iceland, and even South America.(again).
`Thunder in the Orient`is the longest piece in the book, at 140 plus pages. Given the story `reach`, Indy and Sophia start their journey at the ruined city of Bas Shamra, north of Tripoli. Dan Barry and Dan Spiegle are our hosts as we follow Indy to Nepal and another cog disguised as ancient Hindu document. One clue leads to another, and the team travels to Katmadu, The Colossus of Bamian, two ancient temples, one treasure, and into the grip of a powerful warlord. While I appreciate the advetnture, the sheer length of this story would make all 100 plus chapters of the `The Perils of Pauline` action filled.
Lastly, the Àrms of Gold`is a more average length adventure, involvong only one trip to South America packed with death traps, gold treasures, and a long lost race seeking to gain political power. Sure, Indy runs across a beautiful woman, and manages to get buried up to his neck in snow, but this is Indy afterall.
The book is very impressive, and priced at only $24.95 for 300 plus pages, a good deal too. Artwise, the pages seem reproduced from the comics themselves with re-done coloring. All in all, impressive.
This is only Volume 1. I can imagine the rest of the adventures will soon be out as well.
Until I pick up a fedora and whip,
I remain
