I knew there was a reason that Ron Marz comics are always an automatic "buy" for me. Raiders has always been my favorite movie, too, and as much as I love Star Wars, I have to agree that I always enjoyed Raiders even more.

And Lawrence of Arabia is great, too. I don't think it carries the same weight with mainstream audiences as Raiders, but it should. In many respects, Raiders is its heir.
