Indiana Jones: Thunder in the Orient is a six-issue comic by Dan Barry. It was published by Dark Horse Comics in monthly installments from September 1993 to April 1994. Thunder in the Orient precedes the events of immensely popular Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis.

This Indiana’s adventure takes him on a dig in China, near the site of an ancient monastery. He unearths a stone tablet inscribed in an ancient language, but he cannot decipher it. From the monks, he learns that the tablet tells of a covenant left by Buddha himself, perhaps the one true key to the state of Nirvana. He also learns that the Japanese are after the tablet so they could unite all the Buddhist factions throughout Asia and control the destiny of the world. Indiana Jones follows the trail that was left by Buddha’s disciples to many holy places and sacred sites in the Orient. Indy’s search for the scrolls takes him through India, Afghanistan, Tibet, China, and even to Shangri-La.
