Whip-cracking hero Indianna Jones returns in two volumes of long out-of-print graphic novel adventures, from Dark Horse comics.

This year, Indiana Jones is back - not just on the big screen in the shape of new feature film - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - but also in massive graphic novel volumes recounting the comic book adventures of the twentieth century’s most adventurous archaeologist!

Containing the long-out-of-print comic stories, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Thunder in the Orient, and Indiana Jones and the Arms of Gold. This substantial anthology follows the intrepid Dr. Jones as he travels from Africa to Asia and nearly everywhere in between in a race against the Nazis for the world’s greatest treasures. From lost cities, to ancient temples, to artifacts of legendary power, Indy will stop at nothing to preserve these prizes from the grasp of Adolf Hitler’s evil minions.

With Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in theatres in May - and the television Adventures of Young Indianna Jones available this year on DVD in two volumes - now’s the best time to catch up or brush up on the story, and the Indiana Jones Omnibus I is the perfect starting point.

“Three amazing adventures no longer lost in time,” says Jeremy Barlow, editor for the collection. “For Indiana Jones fans and readers rediscovering these stories, the release of this collection will be like unearthing forgotten treasure.”

Fans can be expecting new volumes of the omnibus to be released on a quarterly basis throughout the year. In addition a brand new comics adaptation of the new film will be released simultaneously with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in May, followed immediately by an all-new Indiana Jones comics series, also from Dark Horse comics.

Indiana Jones Omnibus Volume 2 - which collects Indiana Jones and the Golden Fleece #1-2, Indiana Jones and the Shrine of the Sea Devil, Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix #1-4, Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny #1-4, Indiana Jones and the Sargasso Pirates #1-4 - will be published 25 June. Both omnibus collections feature cover art by Dave Dorman.
