Comics Dead Center

Shangri-La is a location Lara visits in the four-part story Dead Center, in the Comic Issue 9.

The Shangri-La is a legendary and a fictional place described for the first time in the novel Lost Horizon by a British author named James Hilton in the year 1933. It's a kind of a paradise and it is said that one is immortal while there. [1] Nowadays it has become "synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia — a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world." [2]

In the comics Lara finds it in the Himalayas. She enters the city and is not allowed to leave anymore. But she finds a way to do so anyway.
