Bryan Talbot has finished work on his next graphic novel, Grandville, just before he jets off to Italy for the BilBolbul festival in Bologna. I’m really looking forward to this steampunk tale with animal characters and the glimpses I’ve had of it via Bryan’s site and what he showed last summer at the Edinburgh Book Festival have got me quite excited. As with the (frankly bloody brilliant) Alice in Sunderland Grandville will be coming out from Jonathan Cape in the UK and Dark Horse in the US this October; at the end of December John Reppion posted an interview with Bryan about Grandville on the Steampunk site.
