The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #24
“What Lurks Within the Tomb!”
Marvel Comics • December 1984
Step back into classic 1980s adventure with this original Marvel issue from The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones series. Issue #24 delivers atmospheric storytelling and rich artwork rooted firmly in the golden era of licensed Marvel comics.
This copy is ungraded and offered in Very Good (VG) condition, showing visible wear consistent with age and careful handling, but retaining strong visual appeal. The cover colors remain vibrant, and the iconic Indiana Jones artwork displays beautifully despite noted spine and edge wear.
A standout feature inside this issue is a full-color Atari “Mario Bros.” advertisement, promoting the early home video game release tied to Nintendo’s 1983 arcade hit. This period-correct ad adds crossover appeal for:
Retro video game collectors
Atari nostalgia fans
1980s pop-culture enthusiasts
While interior ads do not dramatically increase comic value on their own, they enhance collectibility and nostalgia appeal, especially for buyers seeking authentic 1980s ephemera.
