Adèle Blanc-sec

In 2010, the Danish publisher Faraos Cigarer launched a new chapter for Jacques Tardi's iconic French heroine, Adèle Blanc-sec, with writer and artist Tardi—often credited simply as Tardi—collaborating with Søren Vinterberg. This short-lived series, spanning just two issues, continues the early 20th-century adventures of the fearless, independent young woman navigating a world of dinosaurs, mad scientists, and political intrigue. While brief, it reaffirms Tardi's distinctive ligne claire style and his enduring influence on European adventure comics, offering a fresh entry point for fans of the character's classic exploits.
