Grandville by Bryan Talbot

2 Min Thumbnail for Grandville illustration, can't articulate my head to translate any references.




Bryan is doing his work, on his own website. Time to do with my own influence from the wet, rained on streets.

This is Bryan's take on the master detective Genre, with subplots such as thrillers, action and romance explored.

Bryan's body of work has culminated into a love letter to the anthro community at large, with his setting exploring them as the dominant race.

His does not stray away from class tensions from his entertainment, with his own little points of view being shown in the footnotes at the back of this omnibus. From violence to love, the film scenes are played out without onomatopoeia effects, focusing on the photographic. Quite a steampunk sensual flavour. 

With the homage seen through as background flourishes, his own Sherlock remix is the action here we did not expect, which he brings to and front.

Did admire the hero/villain designs along with those campy kick the dog moments at the end. Yet, he does his best to make them relatable.

Hits close to the heart and home of gusto, so recommended.
