Indiana Jones Appraisal

The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #1 Comic Book

This item is a copy of 'The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones' comic book, specifically issue number 1, published by Marvel Comics Group. The comic is presented in what appears to be a protective clear plastic sleeve or bag, indicating an effort to preserve its condition. The cover features a dynamic illustration of Indiana Jones front and center, wearing his characteristic fedora, brown leather jacket, and khaki pants, wielding his iconic whip which is cracking with a burst of energy. Behind him, several other characters are depicted, including figures on horseback and what appear to be ancient warriors or guardians, suggesting an adventurous storyline. The main title, 'INDIANA JONES', is prominently displayed in large yellow lettering with a red outline, set against a light blue sky background. Above this, 'THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF' is in smaller, white text. In the upper left corner, '60¢' is visible, denoting the original cover price, along with 'JAN' for January and '1' for the issue number. The 'Marvel Comics Group' logo is at the top center. A white Spider-Man head logo is in the bottom left corner, indicating the parent company's brand. There is a price sticker for '$7.00' on the upper left side of the cover. The overall impression is that of a comic book in remarkably good, 'like new' condition, with vibrant colors and sharp details on the cover art. No significant wear, tears, creases, or discoloration are apparent, likely due to its protective enclosure. The comic book would generally date to the early 1980s, given the 60-cent cover price common during that era.
