BOOK / GRANDVILLE NOEL. Bryan Talbot

FANTASY

Scotland Yard Inspector LeBrock, without his faithful deputy, Detective Roderick Ratzi, who is enjoying his Christmas break, must investigate the disappearance of his housekeeper Bunty Spall's niece. The clues lead him to a growing religious cult in which a messianic and charismatic unicorn and his cronies, responsible for mass murders in the United States, are about to launch a crusade for the ethnic cleansing of the carapans of the French Empire.

With a large cast of characters and a blend of Holmesian deduction, action, and humor, Grandville Noël continues Inspector LeBrock's retro-futuristic adventures, begun in Grandville and continued in Grandville Mon Amour and Grandville Bête Noire.

Bryan Talbot, considered one of the fathers of the modern British graphic novel, was inspired by the work of 19th-century French illustrator Gérard, who wrote his work as J. J. Grandville, to create a work he describes as "a cross between Jules Verne and Sherlock Holmes directed by Quentin Tarantino." Grandville Bête Noire was nominated for the 2011 Hugo Award—the most prestigious science fiction award worldwide—for Best Graphic Novel.

“Bryan Talbot masters steampunk like no one else. Grandville is a thriller in the vein of a sensual retrofuturistic alternate history.” Adriana Herreros. Don Magazine
