Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec #9

The ninth volume of Tardi's beloved series finds Adèle Blanc-Sec looking decidedly alarmed — clutching her umbrella and bag as dark, grasping hands close in around her from the shadows against a stark red backdrop. Tardi's cover art captures his signature blend of early-twentieth-century atmosphere and creeping dread, with Adèle's green coat and wide-eyed expression conveying a woman in genuine peril. Published by Casterman in 2007, Le Labyrinthe Infernal promises another atmospheric plunge into the extraordinary misadventures of French comics' most resourceful heroine.
