Grandville

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.
