Cliffhangers is a theme of IWC based loosely on the Indiana Jones films (although this is denied by David Morgan-Mar). It first appeared as the theme of strip 24
, making it the fifth theme to appear. This theme is based around the use of LEGO minifigures, and is set around the late 1930s.
Characters[]
- Dr. Montana Jones (commonly referred to as Monty), the protagonist of the strip. He is a lecturer at a New England University, although we have only once seen him appear in his teaching role. His primary role is as a globetrotter, treasure hunter and an enemy of the Nazi party.
- Colonel Haken, the main antagonist of ths strip, he displays typical characteristics of the stereotypical bad-guy (Hook on hand, scarred face, monocle, moustache, and a Nazi to boot).
- Prof. North Dakota Jones, father of Monty, and has a life-long obsession with the holy grail.
- Hitler's brain. The completely sentient brain of Adolf Hitler, in a jar.
- Erwin, Colonel Haken's "left hand man" (he would be his right hand man, but Haken's hook is on his left hand, so the Colonel needs a left hand more).
- Sallah, Monty's friend and companion, who has the incredible ability of relieving the Joneses of any imprisonment that they find themselves in.
