Darkness and Tomb Raider

In this 2005 one-shot from Image Comics, writer David Wohl and artist Billy Tan bring together two of the publisher's most iconic protagonists—the cursed antihero of Darkness and the globe-trotting archaeologist Lara Croft from Tomb Raider. The issue explores a brief, tense encounter where their separate worlds of supernatural darkness and ancient mysteries collide. As a crossover between two major Image titles of the era, it offers a snapshot of the publisher's early-2000s shared universe ambition.
