Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec Volume 01

Both a rip-roaring adventure series set in pre-World War I Paris and a parody of same, Adéle has been enchanting, thrilling, and puzzling readers worldwide through four decades.  Adéle becomes involved in a series of mysteries that involve a revived pterodactyl, a frightful on-stage murder, a looming execution by guillotine, and a demon from the depths of hell - plus of course moronic gendarmes, loyal (or perhaps traitorous?) henchmen, and a climax atop the Eiffel Tower.
