There can’t be many more iconic characters than Indiana Jones. Everything about him screams legendary, from the fedora, the whip, the gun that he uses when he can’t be bothered using the whip, the satchel, you get the gist. Put him in a room full of bad guys trying to steal a dangerous artifact, and everything suddenly feels right again. And that’s always been the magic of Indiana Jones, a character built for dusty tombs, ancient mysteries, and narrow escapes. Well, now, Disney is officially bringing Indy back for a classic adventure, and it’s about time.

Marvel has unveiled Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I and Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book II, two new deluxe hardcovers collecting the character’s beloved 1980s Marvel Comics sagas. The books will be available from September and include some of Indy’s most nostalgic comic book adventures, so for fans who grew up with Indy or want more beyond the movies, then this is a great example of extra content.

The two hardcovers will collect the comic adaptations of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. They will also include the entire run of The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones, the Marvel Comics series that expanded Indy’s world throughout the 1980s.

How Successful Is the Indiana Jones Franchise?

The franchise is immensely successful, even if the most recent outing made things seem slightly unsteady. Across the five movies, the franchise has made roughly $2.35 billion worldwide at the box office. The biggest earner is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which made about $786.6 million worldwide, while Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade made about $474.2 million, Raiders of the Lost Ark made about $367.5 million, Temple of Doom made about $333.1 million, and Dial of Destiny made about $384 million.

The important caveat is that Dial of Destiny was a financial disappointment because of its huge budget. It reportedly cost around $300 million before marketing and grossed under $400 million worldwide. But that doesn’t mean that love for Indy is gone, because nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and the hope is that it works again here.

Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book I and Indiana Jones: The Further Adventures Book II will be available this September.
