Grandville #[nn]

In the alternate-history world of *Grandville*, a murder in a Britain newly independent from the Napoleonic French Empire sets Chief Inspector LeBrock on a trail that leads him across the Channel to Paris, where tensions simmer after a terrorist attack blamed on the British. Written and illustrated by Bryan Talbot, with colors by Jordan Smith and lettering by Talbot, this strikingly detailed comic blends political intrigue with a richly drawn, steampunk-infused atmosphere. The cover, also by Talbot, captures the story’s noirish tension in bold, expressive lines.
