Luc Besson’s The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec is slowly making its way to this country. An English-language movie poster appeared in the UK ahead of the movie’s April 22nd release.

Still not sold? Check out the movie trailer; it is in French with English subtitles, but don’t let that frighten you.
Adele Blanc-Sec was created by French cartoonist Jacques Tardi. His heroine’s exploits often played against a backdrop of an early 20th century Paris rife with occults, supernatural events, and dark political maneuverings.
Volume 1 of the adventures of Adele Blanc Sec entitled The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec Vol. 1: Pterror Over Paris and The Eiffel Tower Demon is available from Fantagraphics Books or check your local comic store.
