: Greetings fellow Indy-backers (makes us sound like MPs),

: (some of them REAL bad, if my memory serves me correctly), Indy should

: If no comments are received, I'll take that as a sign that I should

Let's not forget "The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones" comic books by Marvel that Lucasfilms licensed. I was very "cartoon-like", and ran for several years - 1982 to 1986.
