Full Story [Spoiler]:
Part1
Lara is in the Iran. She has recovered a 2200 year old, very precious necklace for a Museum in Israel. She is hunted by 20 soldiers. But Compton, a friend of the Croft Family helps Lara to escape with a helicopter. After she has returned the necklace she is visited by a man called Paris D'Arsein, who want's her to get him the Medusas Mask. Apparently it was last seen on a Spanish galleon which sunk 1505. D'Arsein tells Lara where to find that ship. Lara dives down to the wreck but her air supply is cut and her ship explodes.

[Remark: Continued in Part2.]


Critics:
The first comic doesn't tell much about Lara. It introduces a man called Compton, who is a friend of the Croft Family. [Remark: There will be more about him in the next comics which is contradictory to the games.]
