Tomb Raider fans can save big on these massive collections of classic comics

Top Cow's Tomb Raider comic was out of print for a long time before the first volume hit stores in July.

There are 33 issues in the first volume, each issue has about 25 pages. Here's what's included:

• Tomb Raider: The Series – #1-24 and #26-34

In case you were wondering, issue 25 saw Lara Croft team up with another top comics comic of the time, Witchblade. Dark Horse seems unable to secure licensing rights from Image Comics, the owner of the Witchblade IP.

Dark Horse Tomb Raider Collection Volume 2 concludes Lara Croft's original comic series with issues 35-50 and two prequel comics.

After reading Tomb Raider: The Series, you can dive into the Tomb Raider: Journey mini-series. Colossal Collection Volume 2 contains all 12 issues of Journeys published by Top Cow from 2001 to 2003.

Although the second volume of The Tome Collection has less content in the mainline series, it's actually a thicker book thanks to the Journey miniseries and five one-shots. Some of these one-offs are essentially two issues rolled into one; The Greatest Treasure in the World (2005) and The Arabian Nights (2004) each have 48 pages.

Here's a complete list of what's included in the 944-page hardcover book:

• Tomb Raider: The Series – #0, 1/2 and 35-50
• Tomb Raider: The Journey – #1-12
• Tomb Raider One Shot:
  • The Greatest Treasure (48 pages)
  • Arabian Nights (48 pages)
  • Origin (24 pages)
  • Takeover (36 pages)
  • Epiphany (40 pages)

Dingniu's Tomb Raider comic was released during the series' heyday, so it was extremely popular at the time. The comic is set in the same continuity as the game developed by Core Design, with some adjustments to Lara Croft's story. A talented cast of artists and writers worked on the series, including Dan Jurgens, Adam Hughes, Michael Turner, Andy Parker, Mark Silvestri, David Fincher and more.

The third volume will be the largest Tomb Raider series to date. The book has a total of 1,144 pages, 200 pages more than the second volume. It is Dark Horse's Tomb Raider comic, which the publisher originally printed from 2013 to 2018 as a tie-in story to the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy. Dark Horse's comics are currently out of print, but Colossal Collection volume 3 will be back in full next April.

Here is the full list:

• Tomb Raider: The Beginning
• Tomb Raider- #1-18
• Tomb Raider Vol. 2 – #1-12
• Survivor's Expedition – #1-4
• Hell- #1-4
• Lara Croft and the Frozen Omen – #1-5

Tomb Raider: The Beginning is a 52-page prequel comic to the 2013 Crystal Dynamics game. The subsequent 18-issue Tomb Raider storyline bridged the gap between the first game and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider Vol. 2 is a 12-issue storyline that begins with an investigation into a cult obsessed with immortality. Two four-issue miniseries followed, Survivor's Crusade and Inferno. These three storylines take place between Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Volume 3 also comes with a five-issue package for the spin-off games Lara Croft and the Keeper of Light and Temple of Osiris.

The writers of the Dark Horse Survivor trilogy comics include Crystal Dynamics game lead writer Rhianna Pratchett, as well as Mariko Tamaki and Gail Simone.
