Grandville (Comic Book)	comment	Grandville, A Detective-Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard Scientific-Romance Thriller, is the title of a series created by British comic artist Bryan Talbot. Inspired by Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard's work of Funny Animal sketches (whose stage name was J.J. Grandville, the basis of the graphic novel's title), he made the graphic novel, along with inspiration from works of Arthur Conan Doyle, Quentin Tarantino and Rupert Bear.Grandville is set in a fictional Steampunk Europe, where France won The Napoleonic Wars. The setting is full of anthropomorphic animals... although there have been appearances of humans. The series stars Detective-Inspector Archie LeBrock of Scotland Yard, a huge, muscular badger, solving mysterious cases along with his sidekick Detective Roderick Ratzi, a rat.The series has concluded with five books released. The first book is simply titled Grandville released in October 2009, while the second book is titled Grandville: Mon Amour (My Love in French) that was released in December 2010. The third book, Grandville: Bête Noire ("Black Beast") was published in 2012. The first book focuses on solving a murder of a British diplomat, which is soon revealed to be part of a wider conspiracy. The second book is Archie tracking down a mad, escaped convict named Edward "Mad Dog" Mastock. The third book is set in France, beginning when LeBrock's French colleague Rocher asks for help solving a murder case, but it quickly turns out to be more than it seems. A fourth album, Grandville: Nöel was released at Christmas 2013, in which Archie investigates a cult led by a charismatic unicorn, and its connection to a sinister political movement. The final book is Grandville Force Majeure ("Superior Force"), published in 2017. All five books were collected as Grandville L'Intégrale ("The Whole") in 2021.All books have been released in America by Dark Horse Comics. See Blacksad for another similar series (but with less fantasy).

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Ground Zero. Just Ground Zero. For those who haven't read the first book, much of the story is a metaphor for The War on Terror. There are even protesters that are against the French war in Indo-China rallying in the streets of Paris! This applies pretty much to the entirety of the whole book really. In Noel, humans are not just a despised minority, but the one targeted by the Nazi-equivalents, and the Christianity of this world tends not to mention that Jesus was from this group (albeit through a conspiracy of silence rather than just glossing over it). Hmm...

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_326a44a1	type	Create Your Own Villain
Grandville (Comic Book) / int_326a44a1	comment	Create Your Own Villain: Arguably in second and fifth album. In Mon Amor, LeBrock would have to deal with "Mad Dog" Mastock one way or another, as his escape from death row was orchestrated by other parties, but Mastock developed a heavy grudge against the badger for putting him in jail in the first place and being rather brutal about it, so one of his side-objectives was evening up the score with him in a similarly nasty fashion. The French kingpin of Parisian crime Tiberius Koenig decided he will make LeBrock's remaining life miserable only after he found out Archie killed one of his brothers while visiting Grandville. And he didn't even like the said brother, it was just a matter of principle to always retaliate with extreme force whenever someone messed with his criminal empire, intentionally or not. LeBrock is also at least partly responsible for Koenig's expanding empire, since his killing Madame Riverhorse in self-defence enabled Koenig to take over the brothel. His guilt over this appears to be part of the reason he makes sure Koenig knows who's responsible for his brother's death.

Mastock's prison break in the second book was orchestrated by LeBrock's boss, Brigadier Belier. Belier in turn, did that on behalf of Prime Minister Drummond who wanted to cover up his involvement in a massacre during the British rebellion. Charismatic cult leader Apollo from the fourth book is revealed to be a mere pawn for his Conman mentor, Elvis Yorkshire. While Elvis did not plan Apollo getting consumed by messiah complex or the movement turning political, he kept playing him to remain on top all the while pretending to be a frail old drunken man.

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45	comment	Fantastic Racism: The anthro characters aren't too fond of the humans, calling them racist terms (see Fantastic Slurs below) and giving them menial tasks. According to LeBrock, they've not made it to Britain because they weren't allowed passports, as they were not granted citizens' rights. Some information from the fourth book suggests that the anti-human prejudice has much deeper and bloody roots, with one revelation being that humans also used to live in Britain... until they were exterminated during the period of French rule. The Archbishop in the first book expresses disgust at interspecies mating. It is uncertain if that is because he believes in the separation of races (akin to prejudice against mixed-race relationships) or simply because he sees it as a sign of general deviancy. Mrs's Doyle's (LeBrock's housekeeper) comments in Noel suggest the former is the case. In the second book, a badger prostitute attempts to proposition two ducks, who turn her down because she "isn't even waterfowl." The fourth book has some notions that the United States is a better off compared to France and England. According to Chance, since the U.S. won a war of independence against France, "doughface" is a slur and humans and animals are treated equally.

It also doesn't help that not knowing who exactly he is, they try to kill him several times and push his berserk buttons in the process.

"Brock" itself is an archaic English word for a badger. The name of the mob boss Tiberius Koenig is a truly masterful application of this trope. Tiberius comes from Roman Emperor Tiberius who was noted to be a tyrannical ruler by historians. Koenig means "king". And of course, he is a Tyrannosaurus Rex (literally, "Tyrant King").

Since both of Billie's parents died in a british separatist bombing, it allows to sink in for her that despite their opposing nations, they both know loss and have to live with it.

She only appeared in one album and mostly served as the Damsel in Distress of the week, but she managed to make a big impression on LeBrock and even seemingly made him develop feelings for her almost instantly after just one night together. Her death caused him to go on an extreme revenge tour and he felt guilty for not being able to save her for over a month and a half, rendering him a psychological wreck during that time. And when he was forced to come back to investigating, he projected her likeness on any badger woman roughly her age, which is how he met Billie. And while he finally got a semi-closure with her demise at the end of the second album by visiting her grave, her memory still affected him for the rest of the series.

Any scene that doesn't have him in the public spotlight, however, shows him as a ruthless, crazed maniac with full-on A God Am I mentality who plans to use his powers for political extremist reasons. This is not helped by Elvis Yorkshire constantly being in the background and using this for his own gains. Tiberius Koenig is a sociopath who cares about nothing but ruling by fear and dominating every gang in Paris and London. He's also a (mostly) level-headed mob boss who speaks to everyone casually, even when he's threatening to kill them. This is made blatant when he's beating one of his minions to death in a chair, all while he calmly talks about his childhood and how he came to be.

Despite chasing down Apollo for revenge for his daughter's death, he can't kill him even at point blank with Apollo knocked out.

Chance Lucas, the Pinkerton agent from Noel, is not following cult leader Apollo because of the Pinkertons, but because his daughter was killed in the mass suicide before he fled for France. He gets his revenge not by shooting Apollo, but by killing Elvis Yorkshire. In the final album LeBrock going for the final showdown with the villains gets significantly fueled by the fact that their boss nearly beat his fiancee to death and in the process killed their unborn child. It says a lot that learning this is the only time the badger got so mad that he punched a hole in a brick wall.

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_a86069f	comment	Alternate History: The setting is a Britain that had lost the Napoleonic Wars 200 years previous, and the royal family were executed. It had then been part of the French Empire until twenty-three years previous when it was begrudgingly given independence after a prolonged campaign of civil disobedience, terrorism and anarchist bombings. Now it's called The Socialist Republic of Britain, a small and unimportant country connected to the French Empire by the Channel railway bridge. The fourth book reveals that the divergence occurred much earlier, sometime around the Biblical Flood. When Noah's Arc reached dry land, the arc was somehow occupied by sapient animals instead of humans and animals. Exactly what happened there, nobody is sure. It also reveals that the Christianity in the Grandville universe posits Noah as God and is ignorant of the notion of the Abrahamic God as we know it, though it does have Jesus as an unknown species. Knowledge to the contrary has been systematically destroyed over the centuries except for one copy of the gospels that states that Jesus was a human and a single copy of Genesis in Hebrew that includes the first six chapters before Noah and the flood. Strangely, although a newspaper in Mon Amour gives the year as 2010 (which fits with the timeline of the Napoleonic Wars), 19th-century figures such as Gustave Courbet and, it's implied, Sigmund Freud are alive.

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: The main tennant of Apollo's cult is that Jesus' specie was unidentified and must have been a unicorn to commit all his miracles thus making Apollo the possible second coming of Christ. They also stage an anti-human "doughface" riot and brutally attack a few humans trying to do a peaceful civil-rights protest nearby. A single copy of the Bible exists in it's original language stating Jesus was a human "doughface".

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_c3b51bb3	comment	You Are Better Than You Think You Are: One of Billie's defining traits is her extreme awareness of the fact that as a prostitute (and a very cynical and life-savvy one), she is "damaged goods" that is very unlikely to ever find true happiness in life. It takes a lot of effort on LeBrock's part to even make her begin to reconsider this, let alone actually change her attitude to herself.

Ratzi's also wearing one, though probably a different model due to being standard-issue model given to all Scotland Yard field operatives. Still, it effortlessly stops and breaks an attacker's knife upon strike.

Grandville (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Grandville (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: This is only a sample, the author's notes feature many, many more. Snowy/Milou, of Tintin fame — as a delusional opium addict. In addition, the dreams Snowy mutters about in the scene where Brock is questioning him are all references to various Tintin adventures. Then there's the human bellhop at LeBrock's hotel. Bécassine shows up at the hotel too. Doughfaces being from Angouleme is probably a reference to the Angouleme International Comics Festival, the biggest comics convention in Europe. We don't need no stinkin' badgers! Some background characters in a jail in the second book evoke of Disney Characters. LeBrock's reminiscing of his times in La Résistance seems evocative of Monty Python's Life of Brian ("Frenchies Go Home"). Especially how he refuses to elaborate any further. An anthropomorphic Marsupilami can be seen in the background in book two. French Prime Minister Jean-Marie Lapin is a reference to real-life French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, former leader of the far-right Front National party. Omaha the Cat Dancer appears on a poster. The second volume gives us Miss Piggy as a French prostitute, as well as Donald Duck as a pervert who wrongly confessed to the murder of the prostitutes, and French comic book character Gaston Lagaffe as a street tough who tries to mug Ratzi. The second volume also includes an aardvark ranting about women being evil temptresses and men being superior. Sounds familiar... Prime Minister Drummond, who is a bulldog, is probably a reference to the Bulldog Drummond series of detective stories. The town of Nutwood is a reference to Rupert Bear. (And Word of God is that Billie is named after Rupert's friend Bill the Badger.) Baron Krapaud's home of Toad Hall shares its name with the residence of another aristocratic toad who infuriated a no-nonsense badger. Paddington Bear is seen chugging down a bottle near the beginning of the third book. A darker version: Apollo's cult's first appearance in the U.S. before he flees to France looks very similar to the fate of the real-life Jonestown cult. In the fourth book we got Asterix and Obelix speaking at a rally for human rights, and LeBrock teams up with special agent Chance Lucas. The end of the fourth book, features Tiberius Koening reading a blood-stained newspaper about Apollo, and remarking, "My God, if they think he was unique;whatever would they think of me? Bunty's bedroom in the fourth book has a poster of a handsome beaver with "Justin" written underneath. Bieber means beaver in German. In the fifth book there's an appearance by The Cat in the Hat as a street entertainer. There's also a music hall troupe called the Baxendales, who are clearly based on The Beano's The 3 Bears, as drawn by Leo Baxendale. As well as DI Pongo Dearly, a fox detective named Basil, and two uniform coppers: a black and white cat named Korky and a basset hound named Fred. The Great Detectives exhibit at Madame Taussauds includes Blacksad, Hip Flask, and Inspector Canardo.

Yorkshire admits that he taught Apollo about hypnotism and manipulation techniques but suggests that this only complemented his innate powers as a unicorn. Many characters insist unicorns are innately magical and magnetic and Apollo's ability to compel crowds just by appearing before them seems to support that. It's lost when LeBrock cuts off his horn with a hacksaw.

This means attacking the perpetrators' secret base of operations, gunning down every single one of them and actually turning their master plan against them by aiming their superweapon at the person who ordered the whole thing. And since the game was played at French government level, during a single night Detective Inspector killed the Minister Of War, Chief of Police, a weapons/media magnate, the Prime Minister, and to top it all off, the Emperor of France himself. And he did it in such a way that no one was able to pin any of this on him. Though admittedly the villains did a great job of motivating him to do that by seriously hurting his partner and murdering his lover in attempt to get rid of him.

And then, seeing he's still breathing, she starts walking towards him while putting more and more bullets into him with each step. She doesn't stop squeezing the trigger even after she's out of ammo and he's out of life, and it takes Rocher's shoulder pat to snap her out of it. Justified in that Mastock led the extreme British seperatist cell responsible for the bombing that killed both of her parents when she was a child, robbing her of a normal life, AND murdered five of the women she worked with at the brothel. Killing him was the closest thing to a revenge for her and she'd probably do that multiple times over were it possible.

A firefight breaks out, leading to a stampede. In the fourth book, an anti-human rally happens across a group of human terrorists who were planning to bomb the rally but were interrupted before they could enact their plan. The crowd correctly deduces their intentions, the humans panic and open fire and things just get worse from there. After LeBrock and Chance cut off his horn and prevent his hypnosis/magnetism, Apollo's followers who came to see him immediately see him as a liar and a fraud and turn on him. We don't see what they do, but it looks as gory as the other deaths in the series. Happens in the fifth book, when the Kalaharis clan charge into what remains of Koenig's club, with the intention of finishing what LeBrock started.
