Okay. This cover is more like it. Oh, sure it's got a hideous yellow, orange, purple, green color scheme, but there's actually something HAPPENING.

This issue, entitled "22 Karat Doom" is the conclusion of the storyline began in issue #1. Indy and Edith are about to be lowered into a pit of molten gold (which explains the anguished looks on the faces of all the gold "statues"). There are some pretty predictable plot twists here- not exactly an M. Knight Shyamalan flick.

Maybe there's a hidden metaphor here: You can gold-plate a dessicated corpse, but it doesn't make it a work of art!
