![]() ![]() Pádraig Ó Méalóid: I had been meaning to ask you, before I started reading this one, if there were going to be any further Grandville books after this, but by the end of it you’ve several trailing story threads that I imagine might take a few more books to sort out. I’d interviewed Bryan pretty comprehensively before ( here & here), so I got in touch to ask him just a few more questions about Grandville, and his future plans for the character. ![]() ![]() Briefly, if you’re not reading Grandville, you’re missing some of the best fun there is to be had between two covers. We also have a messianic unicorn, evil criminals, and a Lucky Luke look-a-like, called Lucas Chance. Wherever LeBrock goes, mayhem and a high body-count ensues, and this book is no different. The fourth of his Grandville books, featuring the adventures of Detective Inspector LeBrock (who is, as the name might suggest to the scholarly, a badger) in an anthropomorphic steampunk Paris, is at least as good as the three previous volumes, if not considerably better. I suspect that I’m not alone in thinking any day that brings new work from Dr Bryan Talbot is a very good day indeed. ![]()
