Adeles extraordinära äventyr

Set in a fantastical early 20th-century France, Jacques Tardi’s Adeles extraordinära äventyr follows the daring reporter Adèle Blanc-Sec through six issues of pulp-inspired adventures published by Carlsen/if in Sweden from 1979 to 1986. With Tardi’s distinctive linework bringing the era to life, the series blends historical detail with wild sci-fi and supernatural elements, establishing a cult classic of European comics. Translated and adapted by Dagny Dahlberg and Leif Almqvist, this Swedish edition made Tardi’s offbeat, intelligent storytelling accessible to a new audience, cementing its place as a beloved oddity in the country’s comic landscape.
