"More than a furry steampunk uchronia, grandville is a smart and brilliant view of the human past... and maybe of his future. It's the kind of graphic novel I love!" - Juan Días Canales, Writer of Blacksad.

"I have greatly enjoyed the Grandville books. I think they're superbly designed, beautifully conceived, admirably written – everything about them is terrific. They really show what the form can do. A graphic novel built on the solid foundation of a strong story." - Philip Pullman.

"Bryan Talbot has an infectious enthusiasm for the Graphic Novel form. I like writers and artists who surprise me. I open one of his books and I don't know what I'm going to get until I am there on the page. I love the fact that I can dive into the very beautiful, very lush, very colourful world of Grandville." - Ian Rankin.

And don't forget the interview and panel with Bryan, entitled "Grandville: the Last Chapter" beforehand at 1:15 - 2:15pm in the Malt Room at the Brewery Arts Centre: "come and find out more about Bryan’s journey to this final chapter alongside LICAF patron and comics expert Peter Kessler."
