#WhatWereReading : Joe adored the Grandville series by the great Bryan Talbot, eagerly awaiting this standalone prequel, which combines superb artwork & storytelling with layered references.

And yes, Joe is biased as he considers Bryan one of the greatest UK comics creators, and the Grandville series was a triumph (in his humble opinion)

Out now from Jonathan Cape

(and yes, that is a Star Trek top, we're dressed up for #Halloween in the bookshop today!)

Interesting essay. Also, #Queen used Grandville’s “Another World” illustrations for the artwork of their (arguably) last album “Innuendo” (1991). Which up till now was all I knew about #Grandville. Now I know more. https://mastodon.social/@publicdomainrev/115022473187924692
