1. There isn't a man, woman, or child walking this
earth who hasn't heard of Indiana Jones, the greatest adventurer
of all time. Dark Horse Comics has assembled a top-notch team
of talent to custom-fit this enigmatic character into an all-new,
four-issue comic book series that's as chock-full of characterization
as it is excitement! It all begins when a mysterious stranger
shows up as Barnett College with an ancient key, and Dr. Jones
puts down his grade book to go in search of his former archaeological
colleague, Sophia Hapgood. Now a trendy psychic, "Madame
Sophia" is doing very well for herself by fleecing people
out of their hard-earned money. Toss in a tiny minotaur-like
statuette, sprinkle in a few overzealous Nazis, and cue the
music! This series is brought to life by the excellent writing
skills of William Messner-Loebs (Jonny Quest, Epicurus the
Sage), with veteran storyteller Dan (Flash Gordon) Barry providing
the pencil art, and one of today's top inkers Karl (World's
Finest) Kesel providing finishes.

2. Indiana Jones and his companion, Sophia Hapgood,
crisscross the globe in search of mysterious Atlantean artifacts
first uncovered in a dig ten years ago. It seems the Nazis
are also after these same artifacts, convinced they will unlock
the secret to the legendary continent. From Reykjavik to Copenhagen
to Rotterdam, Paris, Geneva, Lisbon, and the Azores, then
finally onto the Yucatan, Indy and Sophie manage to stay one
step ahead of their pursuers. Despite several narrow scrapes,
they all arrive in Russia for a mad scramble to possess the
lost dialogue of Plato, which is rumored to contain the secret
to Atlantis.

3. With Plato's lost Dialogue safely in their grasp,
Indy and Sophia are off to Morocco where they are pursued
by a bunch of screaming Nazis and an oily new character named
Omar Al-Jabbar, whose favorite mode of transport is a hydrogen
balloon. Indy and Sophia manage to "liberate" the
hydrogen balloon from the fat and sleazy Al-Jabbar in order
to escape --problem is, neither of them knows how to pilot
the damn thing! Eventually, of course, they get to Crete,
go exploring the ruins of a labyrinth and wind up in the map
room of the legendary Atlantis! How much do you want to bet
those pesky Nazis aren't too far behind?

4. Just as Indy and Sophie get to fabled Atlantis,
they find themselves in the clutches of those dastardly Nazis!
With Indy in yet another tight fix, he turns to Sophie for
some advice but unfortunately she has gone completely `round
the bend, as a strange Atlantean spirit has taken control
of her soul. Meanwhile, the Nazis are getting closer to reaching
their goal and achieving god-like powers! It doesn't get any
better than this, kids!
