Russkie Smashers INDIANA JONES "Trail of the Golden Guns" Chapter 1B

When Last We Left Our Favorite Globe-Trotting Archaeologist...

...(this cover by penciler Bob Budiansky and inker Bill Sienkiewicz doesn't occur until the end of the issue)
Indy agrees to aid Elizabeth Cody, grand-daughter of the legendary Old West hero "Buffalo Bill" Cody, to recover a pair of Buffalo Bill's revolvers stolen by a Russian, Count Alexander Salkovich...after the US State Department asks Jones to use the search as a cover to do a little "unofficial" spying for them!
Once in the Ukraine (at that point, part of the Soviet Union) they encounter a group of Cossacks led by Peter Rostoff who are willing to aid them in the pistols' recovery...provided they all can avoid capture by the Soviet Army, whose last encounter with Indy years earlier hadn't gone well...

As the caption says...
"To Be Continued"...
Next Monday!

Plotted by Ron Fortier, scripted by David Micheline, penciled by Steve Ditko, and inked by Danny Bulanadi, this first part of a two-part tale from Marvel's Further Adventures of Indiana Jones #26 (1985) isn't officially "canon".
