Tomb Raider: Journeys #9

Lara Croft dominates this striking cover by Billy Tan, her athletic frame adorned with sweeping tribal tattoos across her face, neck, and arms — a bold visual that sets an intriguing tone against the swirling crimson and amber background. There's a confident, almost contemplative intensity in her expression that promises the kind of globe-trotting adventure Fiona Kai Avery and Manny Clark deliver inside. Tomb Raider: Journeys #9 is a compelling entry in Top Cow's 2003 series for anyone who appreciates Lara Croft at her most atmospheric.
