[edit] Opening Bookend
Indiana Jones arrived at a charity luncheon, and after hassling the valet, found a table. When two socialites, Norma and Selina, argued over wearing animal skin garments, Jones brought up a story that illustrated the balance of nature, at a time when shooting an animal was considered an act of conservation.

[edit] Behind the Scenes
Issue #3 also contains the four page "Who Are Those Guys?" article written by Kurt Busiek, delving into the history of Pancho Villa, John J. Pershing, and George S. Patton, which is simply a reprint of the same article from Issue #2, and does not connect with the contents of Issue #3.
Issue #4 gives a correction in the mixup of articles in Issue #3, and contains two articles by Kurt Busiek - "The Man with the Big Stick", about Theodore Roosevelt, both as politician, and outdoorsman, and the Smithsonian expedition to Africa in 1909, and "Birth of a Nation", about the history of Kenya.
