I asked Kurt Busiek in the Comicbloc forums about the title of the rare 2-pager he wrote with Adam Hughes' art and here's some info he gave:
--
Hi Kurt, About the "Young Indy" 2-pager from years ago....was it called:
"Young Indiana Jones and the Mountains of Superstition?"
KB: No. It was set on a ship at sea, and was about the Zimmerman Telegram. No mountains, no superstition.
...did it have another title?
KB: I don't recall whether it even had a title, or just used the Young Indy Chronicles logo and left it at that.
--------------------------------------------------
So the story had to do with the "Zimmerman Telegram!"....getting closer to finding out what this rare story is about!
Anyone here have scans of the magazine yet???
Thats very interesting. Minor timeline screw-up too, it appears. I'll explain:
While I've never read it, the 2 page story by Busiek and Hughes was included in the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles magazine (only one issue was ever released)...also in this issue was a short prose story called "Indy in China - The Runaway Adventure". Anyway, the comic story is (as far as I can find through A LOT of research) called simply "Mid-Atlantic, April 1916". This fits with the Indy timeline, because this picks up right after "Spring Break Adventure", with Indy and Remy on their way to Europe to sign up for WWI.
However, in real life, the Zimmerman telegraph itself was dispatchd in January, 1917, almost a year after this story takes place. Not a big deal, but usually the Indy stories are a bit better researched when making allusions to actual historical events.

I believe Dark Horse already said that those were going to be in the other omnibus editions that will be released later. The first two collections are going to be the Dark Horse comics and then they will start collecting the Marvel adventures.
I very much hope this is true. Is there any chance of directing us to a link where they made these claims...? I tried emailing Dark Horse a few weeks ago about this, but never recieved a response.
