!! Great idea, Avilos and yeah, it would have been funny to hear that, Stoo. That would have been awesome.

While I'm curious about Fedora and think it would be interesting to know more about him, I almost think it's better that we've never seen him again. As such, he can act as sort of a mysterious figure in Indy's past that he only met once, briefly, was sort of inspired by him, and then never seen again, lost to the annals of time.
By the way, Fedora himself, Richard Young, is also in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, playing a sympathetic counselor at a halfway house, four years before The Last Crusade. I keep hoping he'll make an appearance at some horror film convention one of these days so I can maybe meet him.

Did you know Holhbein reintroduced the character in one of his books? I think it's the one about the lost Indians.

Stoo said:Really?!?! Wow. Thanks for the info, Johnny. He must be an old coot in the story.
What are the circumstances? How/where does he appear?
You and me both!
I speak German and have read the book a couple months ago. Indy doesn't only meet Fedora again (who's named Jake in the book), but also Herman, the fat kid from Last Crusade. Fedora is once again trying to find a valuable artifact, and Herman and Indy are trying to stop him. We find out a little more about Fedora's character, especially that his alliances depend on money and that he's lead by a very big curiosity for the unexplained. The story plays in Utah in 1943, so 30 years after the opening scene in LC. It's not really the best of the Hohlbein books, but definetely the funniest (together with Labyrinth of Horus).

Just to clarify, are we talking about Indiana Jones und das Verschwundene Volk (Lost People)?

You lucky son-of-a-gun! Indy still knows Herman, eh? Did Herman get any excercise over the years or is he still fat in 1943?Flannery10 said:
So, Indy does meet Fedora/Garth/Jake again. Thanks for the info, Flannery10!
I love that character! He looks like he stepped straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting.Lao-Che said:

He didn't seem to have any contact with Herman, until they meet again in Utah. He seems to be fatter than ever, but he's definetely braver and tougher. He fights Jake on one occasion and seems to be really smart and intelligent.

He's in 2 of them, right? They were boarding school pals?Lao_Che said:
All Herman has to do is sit on him! Apparently, he's also in the rare comic,Flannery10 said:

If there was ever a time for Holhbein's books to be translated into English, it is NOW!
