Comic Book Resources posted a new article on an "comic book legend" where the rolling boulder scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was an homage an "Uncle Scrooge" comic by Carl Barks:

that is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love carl barks so much and his successor don rosa, these are great adventure stories with an actual historic background.

carl barks took everything out of the national graphic for his stories settings and historical background ;)

the other way around there are a lot of homages from don rosa to indy:
for example in the story: The Magnificient Seven (Minus Four) Caballeros

here is a picture ;)

Rosa is an Indyfan, it doesn't much more obvious than that.

And Scrooge McDuck lends himself to Indy type adventures. After all Scrooge, Donald and the nephews were searching for ancient artifacts long before Indiana Jones was created !
