Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Grandville (comics)}} [[File:grandville_3870.jpg\|frame\|Damn Frenchies!]] ''Grandville, [[Long Title\|A Detective-Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard Scientific-Romance Thriller]]'', is the title of a series created by British comic artist Bryan Talbot, creator of Luther Arkwright and known for his work in some issues of ''[[Judge Dredd]]'', some of ''[[Sandman]]'' books (with [[Neil Gaiman]]), and even ''[[Fables]]: Storybook of Love''. Inspired by [https://web.archive.org/web/20111130172913/http://www.artchive.com/web_gallery/J/~~%28Jean~~(Jean-Ignace-Isidore-Gerard~~%29~~)-Grandville/~~%28Jean~~(Jean-Ignace-Isidore-Gerard~~%29~~)-Grandville-reproductions-1.html Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard's] work of [[Funny Animal]] sketches (whose stage name was ''J.J. Grandville'', the [[Meaningful Name\|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 [[Funny Animal\|anthropomorphic animals]]... although there have been appearances of [[Lions and Tigers and Humans, Oh My!\|humans]]. The series stars [[Private Detective\|Detective-Inspector]] Archie Lebrock of [[Scotland Yard]], a huge, muscular badger, solving mysterious cases along with his sidekick Detective Roderick Ratzi, a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|rat]]. Line 60: In addition, the dreams Snowy mutters about in the scene where Brock is questioning him are all references to various ''Tintin'' adventures. Doughfaces being from Angouleme is probably a reference to the Angouleme International Comics Festival, the biggest comics convention in Europe. [[~~The~~UHF ~~Treasure of the Sierra Madre~~(film)\|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 [[Life of Brian]] ("Frenchies Go Home"). Especially how [[Noodle Incident\|he refuses to elaborate any further]].
