About the series
Jacques Tardi’s long-running, ten-issue series for Casterman follows the daring, resourceful Adèle Blanc-Sec through a series of wildly imaginative, early 20th-century adventures blending pulp sci-fi, archaeological mystery, and dark comedy. Tardi both writes and draws the entire saga, his detailed ligne claire style and droll storytelling bringing to life a world of dinosaurs, mad scientists, and occult conspiracies. Spanning from 1976 to 2022, the series stands as a landmark of Franco-Belgian comics, celebrated for its strong-willed heroine and its whimsical yet subversive take on genre fiction.
