There is to be a documentary about Bryan Talbot, the creator of he Tale of One Bad Rat, Luther Arkwright, Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes, Grandville and many more. I can’t think of a better storyteller among our contemporary cartoonists, so he seems like a great subject for a documentary. The trailer has folks like Andy Diggle, Neil Gaiman and Pat Mills talking so…add it to the list.
The film will be available for download and DVD on May 24th but I don’t know too much more about it. There’s a website here.
It’s not particularly grim oop North if you head to the right parts, and you can’t go wrong with Kendal. It’s a lovely part of the world, and the perfect place for a comic book festival. And conveniently that leads me to mention The Lakes International Comic Art Festival, which will see Sean Phillips and Bryan and Mary Talbot as founder patrons. Located in Kendal, the Festival will be setting up tables for it’s first year of existence this October. So it’ll be a beautiful – flippin’ freezin’ – festival.
The festival has just announced the first ten guests, all of whom were lured in with the promise of mint cake galore.
The initial line-up are:
Doug Braithwaite
Posy Simmonds
John Wagner
Carlos Ezquerra
Ed Brubaker
Glyn Dillon
Jon McNaught
Joe Sacco
Jose Munoz
Andy Diggle
Alongside Phillips and the Talbots.
Heavy coats and scarves all round, everyone! Although Andy Diggle already lives in the North, so he’ll probably be able to wear shorts. Tickets go on sale in May. I imagine The Beat will make their presence known too! S’only a stone throw away from here.
Back to the previews, we’re proud to present a peek at Bryan Talbot’s Grandville Mon Amour
, a steampunk talking animal mystery mash-up, or as Talbot puts it:
Grandville Mon Amour pits Detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard against an old adversary and ruthless urban guerrilla, Edward “Mad Dog” Mastock. It’s a fast-paced, Hitchcockian steampunk thriller.
If you’ve been following Talbot’s career at all you know he’s one of the most eclectic storytellers in the medium, producing a string of amazing graphic novels that show a range of emotion and imagination few can match — from
Grandville
to
The Tale of One Bad Rat 
to
Alice In Sunderland
and the previous
Grandville.
This is no exception.
Grandville Mon Amour is now on sale.
