Dark Horse Comics has just secured the comic book rights to LuacsFilm’s Indiana Jones. The fourth, as-yet-untitled, movie in the series is scheduled to open in May 2008 (starring Harrison Ford and directed by Steven Spielberg).
Dark Horse will launch a new series next year, but before that, in February, they’ll publish the first of two Indiana Jones Omnibuses, which will collect Dark Horse’s previous entries in the saga. In April, they’ll release volume one of Indiana Jones Adventures—a “digest-sized graphic novel designed for the enjoyment of young readers as well as adults. The Indiana Jones Adventures volumes and the Omnibuses will continue on a quarterly basis—including Omnibuses for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and the original Marvel run of Indiana Jones comics.”
Dark Horse also plans to release a comics adaptation of film #4 simultaneously with the motion picture, and then follow it with “an all-new Indiana Jones comics series.”
