Notes from the Indiana Jones chronology
This story takes place not long after the events of Raiders
of the Lost Ark, in 1936, and opens immediately
after the events of
"The Ikons of Ikammannen".
At about two-thirds of the way through the issue, Indy and Edith
are said to have spent one month aboard a German U-boat after an
ocean rescue before being returned to a point about one
kilometer off the coast of New York City and given a dingy to
make it to shore. If PopApostle's assumption that Raiders
of the Lost Ark ends on about June 1, this issue
probably ends some time in late July.
Didja Know?
The creators of this issue use pseudonyms for their first names
as a play on Indiana's name, probably assuming that he was named
for the state (it was not revealed that "Indiana" was a name
borrowed from the Jones family's pet dog until 1989's
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). The creators' actual
names are Denny O'Neil, John Byrne, Terry Austin, Bob Sharen,
and Janice Chiang.
Notes from
The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones
The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones is a 2008 publication
that
purports to be Indy's journal as seen throughout The
Young Indiana Chronicles
TV series
and the big screen Indiana
Jones movies. The publication is also annotated with notes
from a functionary of the
Federal Security
Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation, the successor
agency of the Soviet Union's KGB security agency. The KGB relieved Indy of his
journal in 1957 during the events of Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
The notations imply the journal was released to other
governments by the FSB in the early 21st Century. However, some
bookend segments of The
Young Indiana Chronicles
depict Old Indy still in
possession of the journal in 1992. The discrepancy has never
been resolved.
The journal as published does not mention the events of this
issue, going from the end of
Raiders of the Lost Ark
in 1936 to
Indy's recovery of the Cross of Coronado in 1938 in The Last
Crusade.
