Captain's Library FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES "Gold Goddess: Amazon Death-Ride!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

Cover by Howard Chaykin
...Indiana Jones, after recovering the Golden Idol (taken by the late rogue archaeologist Rene Beloq in Raiders of the Lost Ark) is attacked by Meso-Americans whose leader claims the idol is his.
They are assisted by a mysterious woman who wants Indy dead...because she's the sister of SS officer Arnold Toht...
...who died with Belloq when the Ark was opened!
Ilsa Toht never returned. 
Plotted by Archie Goodwin, scripted by David Micheline, penciled by Dan Reid, and inked by Danny Bulanadi, this opener of a two-issue tale from Marvel's Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #10 (1982) shows there's no detail that escapes comics creatives who are obvious fans of a movie/TV series!

Captain's Library FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES "Gold Goddess: Amazon Death-Ride!" Chapter 2

When Last We Left Our Adventuring Archaeologist...


The unseen narrator leaves out that the Golden Idol is the one that rogue archaeologist Rene Belloq stole from Indy at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark!
Or that the Meso-Americans are working with a mysterious blonde woman who, for some reason, wants Indy dead!
Now, lets see who shot Jones' assailant...
OK, to appreciate fiction (especially sci-fi/fantasy/high adventure), you have to have willing suspension of disbelief!
But, there's no way I can accept this woman as Toht's sister!
BTW, he's one of only five action figures originally-produced by Hasbro for the movie!
(And, yes, the figure has the imprint of the medallion in its' tiny palm!)
Indy, Marion, the huge Arab Swordsman, and he were immortalized in plastic that you could buy in stores!
(Belloq was a premium figure you had to send away for!)
Not Sallah, or German commander Dietrich (who I could believe as this woman's brother), or the giant German flying wing mechanic!
Go figure!

To Be Concluded...
TOMORROW!

Captain's Library FURTHER ADVENTURES OF INDIANA JONES "Gold Goddess: Xomec's Raiders" Chapter 1.2

Cover by Howard Chaykin
Indiana Jones and his friend Sallah recover the Golden Idol from a rare artifacts smuggler that rogue archaeologist Belloq took from Indy at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Indy returns to America and prepares to present it to the National Museum.
But, unknown to him, a group of Meso-Americans and a blonde woman (with a grudge against Indy) also want the idol...

Technically, this is a "cliffhanger", even if it is an urban "cliff" he's hanging from!
