Britten and Brülightly

Hannah Berry's Britten and Brülightly (2008–present, Jonathan Cape) is a single-issue graphic novel that introduces a world-weary private detective and his sentient, talking briefcase. Berry wrote and illustrated this moody, noir-tinged mystery, which stands as a distinctive, self-contained work in the British comics landscape. Its blend of surreal humor and hardboiled detective tropes makes it a memorable debut from a creator known for her atmospheric storytelling.
