Description

In Grandville, the first volume in the series, Talbot brings us a steampunk masterpiece. IIt tells the story of detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard as he stalks a gang of murderers through the heart of Belle Epoque Paris. In this alternative reality France is the major world power and its capital throngs with steam-driven hansom cabs, automatons and flying machines. The characters are mostly animals, though there is an underclass of humans, often referred to as ‘dough faces’.Visually stunning, Grandville is a fantastical and audacious rollercoaster ride that will add to Talbot’s reputation as one of the best graphic novelists in the world.

About The Author

Bryan Talbot was born in 1952. He has worked on underground comics, science fiction and superhero stories such as Judge Dredd and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight. His books include Alice in Sunderland, Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes (with Mary Talbot), the first graphic novel to win the Costa biography award, and the Grandville series.

A solid conspiracy caper with bursts of Tarantino-like mayhem…a witty romp in a vividly realised topsy-turvy world.
Other text

Utterly delightful…It's a playful, allusive book in which there's a witty touch or deliciously knowing in-joke on almost every page…beautifully rendered, throughout, the glossy gorgeousness fills your eyes.
