I had to renew my library card to order The Left Hand of Darkness for this month's #ClassicLSFBC pick, and while I was there randomly picked up this graphic novel, which, to my delight, is a blend of Tintin and Indiana Jones.
Julius Chancer is the young archaeology assistant to London-based antiquarian Sir Alfred Catesby-Grey. It's the 1920s, and Hollywood starlet Lily Lawrence teams up with Julius to help extricate her boozy aristocratic ⬇️

Bookwomble ... father from the clutches of an evil industrialist, which includes an expedition to India to locate the fabled rainbow orchid, chased by hapless henchmen and a more capable Louise Brooks lookalike hench woman.
