Really enjoyed this! Been a hardcore TR fan game-wise since 1996 but never delved into the comics. Glad I did, because the art is great (even though it's black and white in this, while the original comic books were color) and the story lines were quite interesting. Gotta read the other four now!

I read this under the title "Lara Croft Tomb Raider Tankobon Volume 1",and was unable to change the title. See my review there.

Stunning line art rendition of the original comics. An impressive conversion of the color comics.

I've always felt that Lara Croft is one of the best video game characters ever. It's only natural that a video character would transfer easily to movies (both were fun!) and comics. This graphic novel is a compilation of the first ten Lara Croft comics from Top Cow, and includes three complete stories, all of them with her old sidekick, Chase Carver. In one story she is retreiving an ancient mask once worn by Medussa, herself. In another she is fighting dinosaurs! And finally, she is after an ancient artifact that allows a person to see the future. Great stories! Bundles of fun! A must read for Lara Croft fans!
I am surprised that I had to enter this graphic novel into the goodreads system,that's why there's no picture of the cover, as it is easily available on Amazon.
