Do you know this ones?

Althought the action is set before WWI you cant go pulpier than this, awakening dinosaurs, evil cults, sumerian demons, mad scientists and wonderful Parisian landscapes. Wonderful material and acid humour.

I found some sculpts of this online. But nothing useful.

Tardi certainly is one of the best french BD authors of the century. However, I´m not too fond of the Adéle series; my favourite is "Le Démon des glaces", a Jules Verne Parody, done in black and white in the 1970s. Awfully creepy and with wickedly good designs.

Le Demon des Glaces is certainly good. But my all time favourite is "C´etait la guerre des tranchées" (The trench warfare). Short stories grim and sad and one of the best books in my collection.

Any idea where I could get some of his work? I'd love to read some / own some.

Better comic stores should either stock it or be able to order it, but to be honest, I do not know at all how the respective situation is in the Netherlands. I guess you´ve got comics stores (thinking of all the nice dutch comic series!), but how common they are I won´t dare to imagine.

Aye, we have a few. It's rather annoying though, seeing as both Miniature stores and GOOD comic book stores are only a handful.

We have about 7 good miniature stores. Not counting the 3 GW shops. But sadly enough the GW shops are full of 12 year olds who throw with their miniatures when they get 'hit' to simulate impact. D:
