Grandville

Bryan Talbot’s Grandville series, originally published in English by Dark Horse and later collected by Bragelonne, blends anthropomorphic animal characters with a steampunk alternate history. Set in a 19th-century world where France won the Napoleonic Wars, the two-issue run follows Detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard through noir-inspired mysteries. Talbot’s lush, detailed artwork and sharp storytelling bring a unique, politically charged edge to the detective genre, making this a standout in anthropomorphic fiction.
