The Comic Side of Indiana Jones

Following up my last post of "The Story of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", today I present the Marvel comics adaptations for both "Raiders of The Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom." When the films came out, Marvel put out their adaptations on the news stands. Each film came to the colorful pages of Marvel in both a 4 part edition and a Super Special edition featuring the whole story. The Super Special Editions were considerably larger than a normal comic book and were much cooler to own. Not only that, you didn't have to spend as much money to get the complete story. I share with you both of those Super Special Edition Movie Adaptations. Here is "Radiers of The Lost Ark" and "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" in their comic incarnation! BTW, I will never refer to "Raiders" as "Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark". It will always be "Raiders of The Lost Ark" to me and I refuse to use the "new" title. Enjoy the comics!

More Adventures With Indiana Jones

Way back in July of 2007, I posted "Raiders of The Lost Ark: The Movie On Record". What followed was a slew of requests for the other Indiana Jones story records. At the time I did not know that the other story records even existed. Thanks to the wonderful help of several of The World of Wonder's many fans, I was able to obtain not only the story record to "Temple of Doom" and "The Last Crusade" but one for "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". While you have to keep checking back for the last two Indy story albums, today I share the story album for "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" with you. Interesting to note here is that while "Raiders" featured the film dialogue, music and sound effects, there was no narration to go along with what you were listening to. If you hadn't seen the movie, you would be lost. However, for the other story albums, the narrations are there. I post this now because I recently introduced these to my own son who loves them! We listened to both "Raiders" and "Temple of Doom" yesterday and he thought they were the best! And he's only 7 months old! Here for you now is "The Story of Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom". Even though if comes from a two sided album, the file is one long track. Enjoy!

Indiana Jones Raids Your Ears

I was kind of bummed that when Spielberg and Lucas came to New Haven to film parts of the new Indiana Jones movie I was on tour in San Diego (I'm still there). It's still kind of cool to know that when I see the film I'll recognize the places that are just 15 minutes from my house! Anyway, in the great tradition of The Story of Star Wars, The Story of The Empire Strikes Back and The Story of Return of The Jedi, here is "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Movie on Record". Released by Colombia Records in 1981, this was the best way to bring the film home with you - remember, this was before going to the video store or watching films on-line were even thought of. (not to mention that Spielberg and Lucas once made an announcement that they would never release the film to television, cable or home releases) Out of all of these story records, this one is by far the best. It even won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album at the 1982 Grammy Awards. I present it for you now. Here is "Raiders of The Lost Ark: The Movie on Record". Enjoy!
