I liked it! A funny short story that made me smile! I wish they would have made it a "flip over" comic with just Star Wars & Indy. Instead we got several titles and not much content. I would also would have liked an Indy cover to match.
I was a bit confused by one thing, if Indy knew that Clifford had a copy of a combination why did he travel so far to get hold of it? He surly would have known that Clifford was screwed anyway.
Thanks, Les! You rock. That looks really, really good. Guess I'm going to have to make a call to Capitaine Quebec. (Are you familiar with this store? Montreal's top comic shop for 30+ years.)
Stoo, I didn't (and still don't) know whether or not you managed to secure a copy for your library yourself, and I thought I'd try to help you out just in case, in thanks for your fine contributions to the Raven. I picked up two copies of the FCBD Dark Horse comic with the Indy tale; one of them's yours, if you need it (I'm sure I'll find something else to do with it if you don't). Just let me know!
I'm gonna try a few other comic shops in the next town over on FCBD (which is this Saturday I believe) to see if I can snag at least one copy of this. I'll also try to pick up some extras for fellow Raveners, but I'll post if I can get some extra copies.
Whoops! DIrish, I didn't notice this until after I made Stoo the offer in the post above.
If he declines, you're next in line for my extra copy, if you didn't already get it yourself.
I went to three different local comics shops today and picked up a slew of them; I don't even know how many I've gotten yet, since one of them gave out bags pre-filled with apparently random selections of the comics they got for the event (though a brief peek into it did reveal it contained a duplicate of a free Aliens comic I'd picked up at the store before - d'oh!).
Stoo, I remembered your mentioning elsewhere that you were hoping you'd get it, but didn't know whether or not you'd be able to. I decided to grab a second copy of this for you, should you need it (and if you don't, DIrish gets the second crack at it, if he didn't get one himself).

Wow, Crack, you are a shining star! A big one. No, I did not manage to secure a copy so I will gladly take you up on your most gracious offer and PM you with my mailling address in Canada. THANK YOU SO MUCH, kind Sir!
It's really difficult to get those Free Comic Day comics here in Holland, so if you don't know anyone else I'd be really happy with your spare copy.
Sorry, Eddy - I guess I should've picked up several more if I could.
Hopefully another Ravener will be able to help you out. I'd certainly hate for anyone to have to pay a lot of money for it - not that it's bad (not at all!), but it's just awfully short (the Indy tale shares the comic with four other stories, so none of them is more than a few pages long).
What other comics did you all pick??? I was only able to pick 4 comics at my comic shop, so I got
-SW:The Clone Wars + other DH titles including Indy
-the 25th Anniversary reprint of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic (THIS WAS SO AWESOME!)
-The Avengers. pint-sized little comic, but it made me want to pick up more Avengers stuff. Most of my Fave Marvel characters in one spot.
-Atomic Robo + other Red 5 titles. I regret this one. Should have gone with G.I. Joe/Transformers instead.
Apparently there was a Shatner comic out, but my shop didn't have it. They were way cutesy. Lots of kids in the store that day though, I was happy to see that. They were doing a TON of business.

Aaaaaand it's now on its way; you should have it in a few days.
Do be advised the Indy tale is quite short (I know you know already, but it bears repeating), but I trust you'll enjoy it anyway.
I wonder if our one and only local comic book store had this in. The only problem is I think it's a money laundering operation as they seem to be open only when they feel like it. Didn't have a chance to go there Saurday as I was busy with other stuff.

Excellent...except I won't be able to get my hands on it until June/July. (You were given my home address to spare the cost of mailing overseas.) Anyway, as per JimmyPSHayes' review, I'm really stoked, no matter how short it is! Again, thank you a million times over!
Hopefully, there'll be other extra copies that some people picked up to provide to fans who were unable to get it. (I feel sorry for Indy fans outside of N.America & Great Britain for a large number of reasons.)
I loved this story, short as it was. My only frustration is that it didn't give a date for when the adventure takes place. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas where this would best fit into the timeline?
Hate to pop the feel good balloon, but the Temple of Meager Offerings was like getting 6 pages of paper cuts. Granted the short form 6 pages are a tight margin but the "story" was anorexic. Indy went out there to decide he'd come back later? Ugh!
The Star Wars/Indy crossover made more sense, (that one had Indy abandoning the site too!), and looked better!
Just a case of inflated expectations and deflated execution. Flat and out of character.

I guess you could post it since it was free, as long as everyone promises to visit their local comic book store this month...
Hey guys. I just checked and I've got 17 copies left. If anybody wants one, it's yours. All that I ask is that you pay for shipping. And it's ACTUAL shipping, not an inflated rate. Just PM me or email me at batkid03@aol.com

JimmyPSHayes, I sent you a PM. let me know if you got it as there was a problem briefly with my internet connection when I tried sending it.

Well... for me it looks like it belongs to the 1930 year era - ie Indy Adventures Vol I since it's the same art style - anyone know if Vol II is also to be 1930?
Has anyone gotten their comic books from JimmyPSHayes?
From the ship date of May 07 to today with no comic book in my mail, and JimmyPSHayes hasn't posted since then. I hope everything is alright on his end.
