Old Indy in YIJ comics

[ATMachine]

Recently I obtained all 12 issues of the Young Indy comic book series published by Dark Horse in the early 90's. They're all adaptations of various YIJ episodes as aired, right down to the Old Indy bits.

However, there's one important difference in the comics: Old Indy still has both eyes! No eyepatch. (No glasses either, for that matter.)

This may suggest that the eyepatch and scar were a last-minute addition before the cameras rolled.

For the interested, I'm providing links to a few scans below. Not the whole comics, just enough to show off the alternate Old Indy.

Weird, I never noticed that, and I own all 12 too. Guess I never watched the show.
Thanks for the pix and welcome!

I recently picked up #3 and 8-12. Is there a China 1908 ending issue coz #12 is the first part of the China episode and it doesn't end with what's it's supposed to, without spoiling anything.

The China issue ends when the Jones Boys leave and pay the host. Have 'em all in Finnish, anybody wanna buy some extras? I have issues 1-4 available from the 6 published, one issue contains two US issues. So the US issues available in Finnish are 1-8.

[Violet Indy]

So there is no #13? Is that what you're saying? Coz that's really annoying.

Yes. http://theraider.net/information/books/comics_youngindy.php

Related to this topic, I'm trying to get rid of my YIJ comics on eBay. Issues 1-9 are all I have, only missing 10-12. If you're interested, jump to

Sorry for the shameless plug, but since you guys seemed interested in these books I thought I'd drop it in.
