Grandville #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis standalone graphic novel by Bryan Talbot introduces Detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard in an alternate history where anthropomorphic animals dominate society. Set in a steampunk version of 1900s Europe, the story follows LeBrock as he investigates a brutal murder that leads him into a conspiracy involving the French government and a secret society. Originally published in 2009, this volume collects the complete first story of the Grandville series, blending noir detective fiction with detailed anthropomorphic artwork.
In the alternate-history world of Grandville, a murder in a Britain newly independent from the Napoleonic French Empire sets Chief Inspector LeBrock on a trail that leads him across the Channel to Paris, where tensions simmer after a terrorist attack blamed on the British. Written and illustrated by Bryan Talbot, with colors by Jordan Smith and lettering by Talbot, this strikingly detailed comic blends political intrigue with a richly drawn, steampunk-infused atmosphere. The cover, also by Talbot, captures the story’s noirish tension in bold, expressive lines.
