Two of the most action-packed Tomb Raider stories are gathered together here for the first time in the second great Tomb Raider TP: Mystic Artifacts. First, from the sold-out issues 5 and 6, Lara finds herself facing the powerful Merlin Stone and prehistoric dinosaurs in a story the defies time itself! Then, what is the Eye of Shaharettin and why do the mysterious Midnight Squires want it so bad? Find out as the story unfolds from issues 7, 8, 9 and 10. With an all-new cover by series artist Andy Park.

In this collection, Lara must figure out how to survive against both a Tyrannosaurus Rex as well as the Midnight Squires.
