In atmospheric Belle Époque Paris, feisty adventuress Adèle contends with dinosaurs, demons, and death cults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParis, 1911. One gloomy night at the Museum of Natural History, a pterodactyl escapes from its display and wreaks havoc upon the city. Enter journalist extraordinaire Adèle Blanc-Sec, who must use her wits and firepower to get to the bottom of this bizarre mystery. An enchanting antihero, Adèle is fearless, brash, and thoroughly ill-tempered, smoking and cursing her way through the case ― always barely escaping peril to tell her tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMasterful French cartoonist Jacques Tardi created his iconic The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec series in 1976. Set in the atmospheric Belle Époque Paris, the series features supernatural monsters, mad science, steampunk aesthetic, murder, humor, and delightful derring-do. This new collection of classic Adèle stories includes four episodes: “Pterror Over Paris,” “The Demon of the Eiffel Tower,” “The Mad Scientist,” and “Mummies on Parade.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn celebration of Adèle's 50th anniversary, Fantagraphics is thrilled to re-issue these classic stories in luxuriously redesigned hardcover editions.
