EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES ADELE BLANC SEC HC (2025)

"Jacques Tardi plunges us back into Belle-Epoque Paris for another double dose of heroic derring-do, evil and crazy malefactors, mad actresses and monsters! The Extraordinary Adventure of Adele Blanc-Sec Volume 2 is the seventh book in Fantagraphics' acclaimed series of Tardi reprints, showcasing the rich variety of graphic novels from one of France's greatest living cartoonists (and winner of two Eisner Awards for It Was the War of the Tranches)."

"Both a rip-roaring adventure series set in pre-World War I Paris and a parody of same, Adéle has been enchanting, thrilling, and puzzling readers worldwide through four decades. Adéle becomes involved in a series of mysteries that involve a revived pterodactyl, a frightful on-stage murder, a looming execution by guillotine, and a demon from the depths of hell - plus of course moronic gendarmes, loyal (or perhaps traitorous?) henchmen, and a climax atop the Eiffel Tower.
