Before the major motion picture, the character of Lara Croft was first born on the printed page. Since then, the publishers of Tomb Raider comics have released several special edition books, featuring foiled covers in gold, ruby red and millennium styles. The trade paperbacks selectively feature stamping and lush illustrations by Andy Park, who has also signed select issues of the series. Top Cow Comics is banking on the demand for multi-media publishing projects, exporting plenty of its award-winning art and designs online for free digital sampling—without losing the original details found in print versions. Finding new ways of using unusual, flashy substrates, holograms and textures also contributes to a greater return on second and third edition print runs. The publisher admits that loyal readers welcome a series of the same book produced using a variety of tones and foils.
