Mary Talbot's 3rd graphic novel now finished!

This week, Bryan finished all the artwork, including the cover. The subject matter of the book is still under wraps though, but will be announced at the 3rd Lakes International Comic Art Festival in October. The book, to be published by Jonathan Cape, is scheduled for release in May 2016.

Their previous two collaborations, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes and Sally Heathcote Suffragette have been highly successful and critically acclaimed, the former winning the Costa Biography Award in 2012, the only time that a British graphic novel has won a major literary award.

Now Bryan is poised to start work on the artwork for the 5th and final volume in his Grandville series of anthropomorphic detective thrillers, the script of which was written three years ago. "I'm finishing Grandville with the best in the series" he says.

Also: Bryan and Mary will be interviewed on stage in Guernsey to correspond with the opening of the comic art exhibition The Art of the Graphic Novel: Adapted and Inspired

Saturday 12 September - 13:00-14:00 at the Guille-Allès Library | Ticket price: £6 / £4
