While we don’t celebrate the birthdays of characters from the galaxy far, far away we do have the opportunity every 1st July to celebrate the birth of Henry Jones Jr, aka Indiana Jones. On this day back in 1899 Indy was born, and as we wait for the next chapter of his journey we can celebrate 125 years of adventures (44 years as cinemagoers).

Check out the cover article by superstar artist Hugh Fleming and enjoy some classic Indy moments below.
