One of the people I was hoping to see at Bristol, but who didn’t show, was Bryan Talbot. But he does have an excuse, I guess, because he’ll be hard at work on finishing his latest graphic novel project. Grandville is a steampunk adventure set in a world of anthropomorphic animals. There is a rather nice trailer that has just gone online.

The book is due out in October, and I suspect it may find its way onto my Graphic Story ballot next year.
