The iconic Parisian adventure series turns 50! Meet Adèle Blanc-Sec, extraordinaire of the Belle Epoque. In atmospheric 1910s Paris, our feisty adventuress finds herself embroiled in all manner of bizarre mysteries tinged with mad science and occult energy. Armed only with her wits and her revolver, she contends with dinosaurs, demons, and death cults, always barely surviving to tell the tale. One harrowing escapade after another, when all she truly desires is to while away the hours in the comfort of her home with a cigarette, a glass of cognac, and a novel. Created in 1976, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec is the iconic Gaslamp fantasy series that put master French cartoonist Jacques Tardi on the map. In celebration of Adèles 50th anniversary, Fantagraphics is thrilled to introduce a new generation of comic readers to its delightful alchemy of suspense, satire, and the supernatural. This début volume features the first four Adèle episodes: Pterror Over Paris, The Demon of the Eiffel Tower, The Mad Scientist, and Mummies on Parade.
