Tomb Raider: Journeys #6

Lara Croft finds herself in an uncomfortably close standoff on the cover of this 2002 Top Cow/Image chapter of Tomb Raider: Journeys, her tinted shades and wide-eyed tension contrasting sharply with the smirking, scarred man pressing a pistol — credited to Lansang and Leisten on the cover — right into the frame between them. The header promises a guest appearance by Winston Churchill, which makes this already intriguing issue even harder to put down. Writer Fiona Kai Avery and a full artistic team including Carlos Mota and Marlo Alquiza continue Lara's globe-spanning adventures in fine style.
