Raiders of the Lost Ark

Marvel brought the blockbuster film to the comics page in 1981 with this three-issue adaptation, scripted by Walter Simonson and penciled by John Buscema. It captures the globe-trotting, supernatural-thriller energy of Indiana Jones's first cinematic adventure, offering a faithful yet visually dynamic take on the search for the Ark of the Covenant. Though brief, this series stands as a key artifact of early-’80s movie tie-in comics, showcasing two legendary talents at the peak of their craft.
