Adeles ungewöhnliche Abenteuer #6

The cover by Jacques Tardi immediately pulls you in: a disheveled young woman sits at the center of a crowded, menacing tableau, surrounded by an eclectic cast of armed soldiers, stern suited figures, and strangely masked or grotesque onlookers — all rendered in Tardi's characteristically precise, darkly playful linework. This 1989 Edition Moderne release presents "Das Geheimnis des Salamanders," the sixth chapter in Adele's ungewöhnliche Abenteuer, with writing from Tardi and David Basler bringing their trademark blend of period atmosphere and bizarre intrigue. If you enjoy early-twentieth-century adventure laced with the unsettling and the surreal, this is a volume that earns its place on the shelf.
