"Adèle Blanc-Sec" debuted as a comic strip in the newspaper "Sud-Ouest" in 1976, set in Paris, circa 1912, before The Great War (WWI), when a 136 million year old pterodactyl egg housed in the Museum of Natural History hatches and wreaks havoc.
'Adèle Blanc-Sec', a cynical heroine, is first introduced as an author of popular fiction novels, who turns to investigative journalism as her research and subsequent adventures reveal further details of the 'mystical world' of crime.
Themes of the occult, corruption, official incompetence and the dangers of patriotism lend atmosphere to the series.
