There are certain characters that transcend the medium they were born in. Indiana Jones is one of them.
When Raiders of the Lost Ark hit theaters in 1981, it didn't just launch a franchise — it created a cultural icon. The fedora, the whip, the leather jacket, the impossible odds faced with equal parts brilliance and recklessness. Indy wasn't just a hero. He was the hero. And at the height of that cultural phenomenon, Marvel Comics did something bold: they brought him to the printed page.
The results were spectacular.
Working with some of the biggest creative talents of the era — David Michelinie, Walt Simonson, John Byrne, John Buscema — Marvel didn't just adapt the films. They expanded the mythology. The Further Adventures of Indiana Jonesran for 34 issues, sending Dr. Henry Jones on globe-trotting quests that felt every bit as cinematic as the blockbusters that inspired them. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Temple of Doom. The Last Crusade. And then beyond — into brand new territory, racing against shadowy forces to keep priceless artifacts out of the wrong hands.
It was Indiana Jones unchained, in the hands of creators who understood exactly what made him work.
For decades, those comics have been difficult to find in quality condition. Back issue bins, convention tables, the occasional lucky grab at a shop like ours. But this September, Marvel is bringing them back — and doing it right.
Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I and Book II arrive in September 2026 as deluxe hardcovers that are, frankly, gorgeous. We're talking leatherette binding, debossed cover designs, and ribbon bookmarks. These aren't just collected editions — they're artifacts. The kind of thing Indy himself would consider worth the trouble.
Book I collects the Raiders and Temple of Doom adaptations from Marvel Super Special, along with issues #1–16 of The Further Adventures. Book II picks up with the Last Crusade adaptation and rounds out the full run through issue #34.
That's the complete story. Both volumes. Everything.
If you grew up with Indiana Jones — the films, the cartoons, the lunch boxes, any of it — these hardcovers are going to hit differently. And if you're a comics fan who has never read the original Marvel run, this is your best-ever entry point into one of the most fun superhero-adjacent series the Bronze Age produced.
Both volumes available for preorder right now on our website, so lock in your copies today. These are exactly the kind of releases that sell out before people realize they wanted them. And they belong in your collection!
The adventure isn't over, Dr. Jones. It's just getting a deluxe hardcover treatment.
