The ultimate showdown between the forces of good and evil as Indiana Jones takes on the despicable German SS nasty Helmut Von Mephisto for control of an ancient civilisation's mysterious and lethal power, in this great cover art by Greg Knight for the much-missed author J.W. Rinzler's one and only Indiana Jones Young Readers Adventure published specifically for the US during 2009: Indiana Jones and the Mystery of Mount Sinai, a lively read where Rinzler channels the adventure of Raiders of the Lost Ark (bringing back two of the story's semi-supporting characters in the process) with a World War II era semi-prequel to the then 2008 released Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Intriguingly, the villainous Mephisto, with his Darth-Vader like mechanical arm/energy discharging weapon, would be inspired by a villain of the same name from the ultimately aborted Indiana Jones and the Monkey King movie script.
