15 Most Obscure Comic Books That Were Turned Into Movies

15. The Extraoridinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec

Most people living in the English-speaking world have probably never heard of The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec. But it may not technically be fair to classify it as 'obscure' seeing as that in France, where the comic book series has been published since the 1970s, it's actually pretty popular.

A historical fantasy series, it follows the title character as she embarks on many adventures that are, well, extraordinary. These include dealing with a pterodactyl in Paris. All this and she still manages to be a successful fiction writer.

A feature film lightly based on the series was directed by Luc Besson and released in 2010. With a cast that included Louis Bourgin and Mathieu Amalric, critical reception was generally highly positive and it was a modest box office hit.
