Adeles ungewöhnliche Abenteuer

Jacques Tardi’s long-running French series follows the fearless, sharp-witted journalist Adèle Blanc-Sec through a string of wild, early-20th-century adventures blending science fiction, mystery, and dark humor. Originally serialized in the 1970s and later collected by Edition Moderne in this 10-issue run (1989–2008), Tardi’s distinctive ligne claire art and intricate, period-rich storytelling define every panel. With occasional contributions from Martin Budde and David Basler, the series remains a cornerstone of European bande dessinée, celebrated for its eccentric heroine and Tardi’s masterful fusion of pulp thrills and historical detail.
