THIS ADVENTURE!

Before The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles ever aired, writer Simon Jowett brought Indy’s adventures to life in print — scripting the Young Indiana Jones newspaper strips published exclusively in the UK.In this conversation, Simon shares how:- The first series told a completely original story, continuing directly from The Last Crusade’s River Phoenix prologue.- The second and third series adapted The Princess of Peril and The Plantation Treasure — young reader novels that themselves predated the TV show’s continuity.- These strips helped define the tone and personality of a young Indiana Jones before audiences ever saw the Lucasfilm series.Simon also reflects on his wider career — from writing James Bond comics for Dark Horse to developing the upcoming 007 video game First Light, which fuses cinematic storytelling with mystery and mythic adventure.🎬 Meanwhile, George Lucas: The Lost Golden Age — our feature documentary exploring Lucasfilm’s groundbreaking 1990s era — is officially funded and moving into production!We’re now aiming for our second funding milestone of $30,000, which will allow us to travel to the UK to interview key creatives from that pivotal period.👉 Support the documentary and lock in your DVD or Blu-ray copy here:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/georgelucas/george-lucas-the-lost-golden-age#youngindianajones #SimonJowett #GeorgeLucas #Lucasfilm #TheLostGoldenAge #YoungIndyChronicles #RiverPhoenix #JamesBond #BondComics #FirstLightGame #FilmHistory #BehindTheScenes #007 #indianajones
