Grandville #1
This volume collects the first installment of the Grandville series, a steampunk anthropomorphic detective story set in an alternate history where France won the Napoleonic Wars. The narrative follows Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard as he investigates a murder that leads him into a world of political intrigue and danger in the grand city of Grandville.
In a Britain newly freed from a French imperial grip, a high-ranking official’s murder sets off a chain of tensions that spill into Paris, where suspicion and unrest grow after a terrorist attack blamed on the British. Chefinspector LeBrock follows the trail through a city teetering on the edge, navigating a web of secrets in a world where history and politics are as layered as the artwork. Written and illustrated by Bryan Talbot, with inks and colors by Talbot and Jordan Smith, the cover by Talbot captures the story’s steampunk noir atmosphere.
