The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec #1

This volume collects the first two stories from Jacques Tardi's acclaimed French series, originally serialized in the 1970s. In 'Pterror Over Paris,' intrepid early 20th-century adventuress Adèle Blanc-Sec investigates a pterodactyl terrorizing the city, while 'The Eiffel Tower Demon' involves a mysterious creature and a bizarre conspiracy at the iconic landmark. Tardi's detailed ligne claire art and darkly humorous, pulp-infused storytelling are on full display in this foundational collection from Fantagraphics' English-language edition.
