There are at least two original French language Indiana Jones bandes desinies (BD). BD's are oversized hardcover graphic albums. They are from Bagheera Editeur (Paris). It is written/drawn by the team of C. Moliterni and G. Alessandrini. I suspect that they are done in several European languages, most probably including Italian.

• Indiana Jones et le Secret de la Pyramide (September 1993, 48 pages).
• Indiana Jones et la Citi de la Foudre (April 1994, 48 pages).

Upcoming graphic novels include:

• Indiana Jones et le Grimoire Maudit
• Indiana Jones et les Bidouins de la Mer

I have eight Wolfgan Hohlbein Indy books. He is a very popular German-language science fiction/fantasy author, including young adult novels, and has written at least eight of them, all published by Goldmann. Goldmann also publishes German-language translations of the American novels (Rob MacGregor, movie adaptaions).

  • (...Legacy of Avalon)
