I read the books years ago. Her adventures could be great adventure-games because the artwork is fantastic.
Might be as good as Benoit Sokals' works turned into the games Syberia I and II.
And look out for the game Nikopol, coming soon, based upon the art of Enki Bilal.

]]> <![CDATA[Frozen French Femme Fights Ferocious Fearsomes]]> Adèle is awesome! I discovered her only recently (yay public libraries) but found her compelling from the start (well, just after the start: at first it's 'what is this?' and then you just keep coming back to it, which is a sign of greatness in any art, I think). I don't quite know if she reaches WWII, since she is only frozen until the end of WWI and 'thawed' on the last day of the war, after which she continues her adventures with disgust at the patriottism and a slew of traumatised war heroes. The author and artist, Jacques Tardi also made a graphic novel about the Great War that's supposed to be even better (I haven't read it).

]]> <![CDATA[Frozen French Femme Fights Ferocious Fearsomes]]> I read these comics a couple of years ago and was pleasantly surprised. There's a dream-logic quality to the storytelling that combines with a weird penchant for burlesque comic relief. And although it might not always be totally coherent, the style, setting and dialogue are provocative and intriguing.
I totally recommend the read.
As for Mess. Bessons ability to convey this with a movie-adaptation without making Adele Blanc-Sec into a jumping, crouching, gun-toting Leeloo-of-the-40's....we'll just have to see.

Now I've got Cheval Noir #1-8 on the way, and I'm pretty psyched for the whole "international anthology" concept. Thank you for the awesome tip!
