Techland’s Comic Book Club was very enthusiastic last week about The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec–the new English translation of the first volume of a Jacques Tardi series about a fearless, cold-blooded adventuress in the mysterious Paris of 1911. Now, courtesy of Fantagraphics, we’ve got an exclusive look at a scene from the book–an early sequence of “Pterror Over Paris,” in which Adele is confronted by a pterodactyl that’s mysteriously hatched in the 20th century and is wreaking havoc across the City of Lights. (That tight-lipped woman identifying herself as “Edith Rabatjoie”? That’s our heroine.)
