I was similarly wowed by Talbot’s abilities as a speaker (at Comica rather than Thought Bubble, but I believe it was the same presentation), but was completely underwhelmed by Grandville.

He obviously put a lot of time and skill in to putting the book together, but I thought the end result was especially forgettable.

I would have said pretty much exactly the same thing til I read Alice. Check that one out… and if you get the chance to see him speak at a con or whatever, take it – he’s utterly astonishing when it comes to talking about technical stuff like page layout, panel placement and so on…

It’s strange, I’ve never really done Talbot. I tried reading some Luther Arkwright but it started to bore me so I stopped. Probably doesn’t help that I don’t much like his art.

Should try to give the man a proper crack sometime, I reckon.
