Granvil: A Steampunk Thriller with a Blade of Mystery
Granvil is a graphic novel that opens the doors to Darkwood's new "Supernova Series," bringing us an exciting mix of genres and styles. How to describe this work? Perhaps as a steampunk detective-political thriller set in an alternate history, where anthropomorphic animals take center stage. While such a setup in the hands of a less experienced author might become convoluted and overloaded, Brian Talbot manages to create a masterpiece that combines an intriguing plot with a profound atmosphere.
Detective Lebrok: A Badger with Mind and Heart
At the heart of the story is Detective Inspector Lebrok of Scotland Yard, a giant badger with a sharp mind reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, but with a greater tendency toward direct action and a more pronounced emotional depth. Alongside him is his loyal assistant, Detective Paci, whose sharp insight and devotion perfectly complement this unconventional detective duo.
Lebrok does not solve ordinary cases. His investigations uncover layers of social injustice, political intrigue, and dark secrets that threaten to shake the foundations of the world in which he lives.
In This Issue…
The dangerous criminal known as the "Rabid Dog" Mastok has escaped from prison. It's up to Inspector Lebrok to track him down once again, but the investigation leads him much deeper than a simple manhunt. What dark secret does Mastok’s past hide? And why would someone go to any lengths to prevent Lebrok from uncovering the truth?
Granvil is not just another detective comic. It’s a story about the fight for justice, confronting personal demons, and a world where beneath every layer lies a new mystery. Perfect for lovers of thrillers, mysteries, and steampunk adventures!
