[1996] Tomb Raider Comic Debuts in Mean Machines SEGA
[1998] Witchblade - Tomb Raider (this might be in the Archive? I am not sure)
[2000] Dark Crossings
[2005] Tomb Raider - Witchblade - Magdalena - Vampirella

Maybe these?

Am I missing any? I have Dark Aeons too
I just read the one called Takeover recently, and she was ridiculously over sexualised in this. Not just her, but other female characters too. Lara’s boobs were bigger than usual and there was lots of close ups to them. There was another female character wearing a miniskirt as well and Lara was wearing a dress, so there was lots of shots of her and Lara’s legs as well. Then another skimpy clothing wearing female character comes along out of absolutely nowhere, just to seemingly look sexy.

I don't know for 2023 comics, but at the time it was the style of the US comics, every character was overly exagerated and sexualised. Even men had unhuman muscles and clothes that felt more like body paint than actual suits

It’s not as common anymore, but female characters do get a lot more sexualised than male ones. Even among super hero comics, there’s way more butt and boob shots as there are of male characters assets. That said, Nightwing does seem be sexualised in a similar way recently, where his ass is a big focal point of attention.

hahaha i love that line it's from saga of the medusa mask graphic novel/comic series.
"I was disappointed that it didn't really follow the game's story" same and true but i do love that it stayed faithful to the source material and faithful to lara croft character so i didn't mind that it didnt connect to the core design game series and besides core design put their stamp of approval since their logo are on the cover art.

OMG i'm freaking jealous right now. hahahaha
i have more of a movie collection of tomb raider ALOT MORE THEN THE TOMB RAIDER GaME version, but i'm getting there, i'm too busy buying tomb raider magazines, bobbleheads and statues but have u read: Lara croft and the frozen omen? it's a pretty good comic, it came out in 2016. she looks more like legends version of lara tho. tbf that's not all of lara/tomb raider top cow appearances judging from all of the achieve volumes collections: 1 -5, THE DARKNESS AND TOMB RAIDER (DYNAMIC FORCES ALTERNATE COVER), TOMB RAIDER Compendium Omnibus, Tomb Raider: Dark Aeons
and etc but none the less that's a good start i hope u got more since then.

i also own "lara croft tomb raider tech manual by michael jan friedman". the book pretty much shows how faithful simon west's tomb raider was to the source material. i love that it has dialogue trees as text messages showing her reaction to the new weapons, phones and etc. i think it's a must buy for all tr fans
