Total Film Magazine Winter 2018 Issue 267 Alicia Vikander Tomb Raider Black Panther SKU 1511

Original Total Film magazine – Winter 2018, Issue #267, featuring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft from the 2018 Tomb Raider reboot on the front cover.

This issue is strongly centred around the upcoming 2018 movie slate, with extensive coverage of Tomb Raider alongside major features on Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool 2, Phantom Thread, Fantastic Beasts 2, Coco, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Justice League, Dunkirk, Jumanji and more.

The front cover is a particularly strong collector image, showing Alicia Vikander in full Lara Croft costume against a dramatic smoky island backdrop. She is pictured carrying her bow and quiver, wearing Lara’s recognisable adventure clothing and survival gear. The design is much cleaner than a standard text-heavy newsstand cover, allowing the Tomb Raider artwork to dominate almost the entire front.

Main Tomb Raider Feature

The contents pages identify the major feature as:

“2018 Preview: Tomb Raider”

The feature focuses on Alicia Vikander taking over the role of Lara Croft for the rebooted film series. The magazine describes the coverage as being from the movie set, making this a particularly relevant issue for collectors of:

Alicia Vikander / Tomb Raider / Lara Croft / video-game adaptations / 2010s cinema memorabilia.

A large contents image again shows Vikander as Lara Croft in the film’s rugged island setting, carrying a makeshift weapon and dressed in weathered expedition clothing.

Condition

This is a pre-owned copy with visible handling and storage wear, but it remains a good presentable collector copy.

From the supplied photographs I can see:

• General light surface rubbing and fine scratches to the front cover, most noticeable across the darker areas.
• Some wear and rubbing along the spine / left edge.
• Mild edge wear around the outer perimeter.
• The top-left corner and spine head show some rubbing and slight wear.
• The bottom-left corner has light wear and softening.
• Minor corner softening elsewhere rather than perfectly sharp factory-fresh corners.
• A few small white rub marks / surface marks are visible against the darker artwork.
• The cover appears to have a little natural waviness / handling curvature, consistent with being previously read and stored.
• The internal pages shown appear clean, colourful and firmly attached, with no obvious major tears visible in the photographed sections.
• No obvious writing or major staining is visible in the supplied images.

Overall, it presents as a good used example with normal cosmetic wear from age, reading and storage, rather than a mint or pristine copy.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be packed carefully for dispatch using protective cardboard and/or bubble wrap depending on the size and requirements of the parcel.

Extra care will be taken around the spine, corners, cover and outer edges to help minimise movement, bending and crushing while the magazine is in transit.
