I cannot quite believe this - but 2008 is the twelfth year that I have been running this site! It's still an honour and privilege to be considered as the Official Bryan Talbot fanpage you know.

I have also found the newsgroup posting through Google that showed when I launched the site - in 1996! (by the way - that's an old address for the site in the posting that no longer works, - neither does that email address.)

As has become traditional here on the Bryan Talbot fanpage, I have created a new "what's new" page for the New Year of 2008. All of the old what's new pages are still online, as I hate to ever delete content, and I always think they give people a fun non-linear way to browse through the site.

So - you can check out what was new in 2007, what was new in 2006, what was new in 2005, what was new in 2004, what was new in 2003, what was new in 2002, what was new in 2001, what was new in 2000, what was new in 1999, and what was new up to 1998.

Updated the news page with some links to interviews with Bryan and also updated the Grandville homepage as one of the interviews was specific to that comic and genre. Also updated the interviews homepage!

Just got my gleeful paws on some more Grandville pages! - check out the brand-new, hot-of-the-press goodness that is Grandville page page 41 and Grandville page 53!

Is anyone else getting that little burst of adrenaline at the thought of a brand new comic from Bryan?!

Also let me know what you think about the new style of previewing the thumbnail images I have adopted on the Grandville homepage (and all of the other pages in the Grandville preview section) - I think it's much better than the previous style, but then I would say that wouldn't I?! - the important thing is whether you lot all think it is an improvement or not..

Bryan has given the go-ahead to announce his next graphic novel! - Grandville! Grandville is an anthropomorphic steampunk detective-thriller. The protagonist is Detective-Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard.

I created the Grandville homepage and also added the image to thumbnail gallery 19; I also updated the image navigator page as well as text gallery 6.

I tidied up the pre-gallery page; this is the main page you go to to get to all of the galleries on the site and so is quite important; thing is - I often update the contents of the page when I add a new gallery, but rarely look at the text at the top of the page; so - I sorted this out.

I also realised that on the pre-gallery page there was no explicit listing of the Cannabis Conspiracy, so I added it. This page has long been listed in the strip listing page, so I have no idea why it wasn't on the gallery homepage!

As is traditional I have archived off the old what's new page - see the list above. It feels great to still be working on Bryan's website after 12 years!

Anyway; I have been adding a few links to the Heart of Empire CD-Rom first chapter and I also added a couple of snippets onto the news page.
