FHM Magazine November 1997 Rhona Mitra Tomb Raider Lara Croft Lingerie SKU 1532

Original FHM Magazine – Issue 94, November 1997, featuring Rhona Mitra as the main cover star.

This is a strong late-1990s FHM issue, particularly collectible for Rhona Mitra / Tomb Raider / Lara Croft fans. The front cover promotes her as “Tomb Raider’s game girl in the flesh”, from the period when Mitra was closely associated with the live-action Lara Croft promotional role.

The magazine has the classic 1990s FHM format, mixing celebrity photography and interviews with fashion, lifestyle, humour, extreme sports, technology and unusual real-life features.

RHONA MITRA / TOMB RAIDER FEATURE

Rhona Mitra receives one of the main features of the issue, beginning around page 190.

The contents page shows her photographed holding a large snake, with the feature referencing the Tomb Raider connection. This makes the issue particularly interesting for collectors of:

• Rhona Mitra
• Tomb Raider
• Lara Croft memorabilia
• 1990s gaming culture
• Vintage FHM magazines
• Late-1990s celebrity magazines

ANNUAL LINGERIE SPECIAL

The cover prominently advertises an “Annual Lingerie Special”, described as featuring celebrity women modelling lingerie.

The contents page confirms this as a substantial section beginning around page 131, making it one of the headline features of this issue.
