What's the Canadian price of issue #6? Is it $6.99 or $9.99?
Nevermind about this question. I picked it up today. $6.99 in Canada . I was hoping they would do a special 100-page $10 issue for the last one, but sadly no.

I'm not going to make it back to Canada before Easter and it's highly doubtful that issue #6 will still be on the shelves.
Is there anyone willing to pick one up for me? Please! A hand$ome reward awaits...

I have extras if you can't find one when you get back. Drop me a line if you can't find it in stores ....

Les, that would be perfect! Guess what I found in my laptop bag over the weekend? An addressed envelope to YOU with the 3 Swiss Indy scratchcards! They've been hiding there since last summer! Thanks for coiming to the rescue. That is great.
P.S. Good luck with Dan Aykroyd today! (I think it's today.)

I'd forgotten all about those!
Met Dan Aykroyd and he signed my Temple of Doom photo. He's a super nice guy!!! The photo is shown on our site.

Ok, so I am a little late, but I am thinking about buying the Indiana Jones the Official Magazines. The question I have is: should I? Are they worth it for me to acquire them? What does everybody think about them?
I read Issues 1, 2 and 6 thanks to the digital stuff thread. 6 had a morsel from the April 1980 draft of Raiders not found in the Complete Making Of book or the available scripts:
Quote:
Belloq's eyes have disintegrated, the sockets suddenly turned to black holes. Dietrich and his men are already eyeless, but now their skin and bone dissolves before us, not peeling or shattering but rather crumbling into fine pieces, collapsing on itself. And finally, turning into a fine, dry dust that blows away in the whipping vortex of the Ark's storm. And then, as suddenly as it began, it ends! The lid of the ark slams shut.
Do issues 3, 4 or 5 reveal any peeks at the scripts?

Hi, Moedred. Did a quick scan of #6 and can't find the part you're referring to but there is a 3-part article in #3, 4 & 5 about the deleted Shanghai sequence form "Raiders". They use the storyboards (which *were* posted at the Official Site before the new movie came out) as well as some text. Very little dialogue but a lot of description. I still have my doubts about these...
Apparently The Art of Adventure: Opening the Ark was from issue 2. April 1980 was the fifth and not the fourth drafts as they claimed, unless the Complete Making Of book is wrong. So Raiders of the Lost Scene was stretched across the next three issues? That's kind of pathetic. I suppose they used the third draft we've got. Ah well, thanks for the briefing! (The picture viewer won't show the storyboards in the archive, by the way.)
