Adeles ungewöhnliche Abenteuer

A long-running, award-winning French series from Edition Moderne, Adeles ungewöhnliche Abenteuer collects the celebrated adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, a fearless young journalist in early 20th-century Paris. Created by the legendary Jacques Tardi, the series blends historical detail with wild fantasy, pitting its heroine against dinosaurs, mad scientists, and ancient curses. Its first issue in this edition arrived in 2010, continuing Tardi's enduring, idiosyncratic vision. This series matters as a cornerstone of bande dessinée, showcasing Tardi's masterful linework and his signature mix of pulp adventure and satirical social commentary.
