In a fun post appearing on Instagram, we see a possible crossover adventure featuring Indiana Jones and the Phantom.
The post appeared a day ago, posted by artist Adam Murphy and writer Paul F. Verhoeven. The caption to the post reads:
Myself and Paul F. Verhoeven are both huge Indy fans, obviously… but we also LOVE The Phantom. So here’s a story set during Indy’s pre-Crystal Skull, Cold War-era adventures.
The images found in the post are:


The images have the resemblance of a story book, with one of the images noting that it’s part of a series titled ‘An Indiana Jones Cold War Chronicle‘. We see an illustration of Indiana Jones and the Phantom (with Devil by his side), trying to escape the bullets of an overhead plane, in a coastal jungle setting.
The second image gives us a brief of the adventure:
It’s a cold war, and Indiana Jones is in hot water. His orders? Track down a soviet submarine, gone missing in a place he’s not visited since he was a child.
Bengalla.
Back then, Indy was travelling with his father, who was in Bengalla to meet with an old friend: The Phantom, a legendary crime fighter who quickly took a shine to our young adventurer. But now, almost half a century later, Indy is all grown up … and he’s desperately outnumbered, and outgunned. Who can he call on in his hour of need? Surely not The Phantom.
But when The Phantom does show up. Indy is flummoxed! How has his childhood hero seemingly not aged a day? And what does the encroaching soviet menace want with the sovereign state of Bengalla?
Find out, in this stunning reunion of The Ghost Who Walks, and the Professor Who Stalks, in Indiana Jones and The Phantom!
The idea presented by artist Adam Murphy and writer Paul F. Verhoeven is of coarse just a fictitious concept, and not one in production in any way. The crossover idea of Indiana Jones and the Phantom teaming up in an adventure would certainly be a fun read, and even more fun to view on screen in either an animated production or in a movie.
