Bryan Talbot’s most recent book, “Alice in Sunderland”, was hailed by the “Guardian” as one of the ten best graphic novels ever and acclaimed by critics all over the world. Before that, at the start of his career, he created the first ever steampunk graphic novel, “The Adventures of Luther Arkwright”. In “Grandville” Talbot brings us another steampunk masterpiece. Inspired by the work of the nineteenth-century French illustrator Gerard, who worked under the pseudonym ‘Grandville’ and frequently drew anthropomorphic animal characters, it tells the story of detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard as he stalks a gang of murderers through the heart of Belle Epoque Paris. In this alternative reality France is the major world power and its capital is thronged with steam-driven hansom cabs, automatons and flying machines. The characters are mostly animals, though there is an underclass of humans, often referred to as ‘dough faces’, who resemble the ‘clear-line’ characters of Herge’s “Tintin” books. Visually stunning, “Grandville” is a fantastical and audacious rollercoaster ride that will add to Talbot’s reputation as one of the best graphic novelists in the world.

Listening to your iPod while you’re doing something active (well more active than sitting on the bus) can be a traumatic experience. Fiddling with buttons and jostling the earphones into some semblance of a comfortable position while you’re in transit makes the whole process a bit of a bore for those who can’t exercise without a beat. The CyFi Wireless Sports Speaker makes it as easy as can be no matter your outdoor pursuit of choice. The key to the CyFi is its adaptability – as well as being a companion for your cycling commute it’s great for camping hiking boating… basically most things ending in ‘ing’. It’s the perfect thing for outdoor holidays relaxing round the campfire after a hard day’s trekking or for playing Duran Duran’s Rio while the boom comes overhead (what do you mean you’ve never seen that video?!). It comes with a clamp for fixing it to the handlebars of your bike so that your downhill descent can be suitably soundtracked as well and the sound quality is impressive. Buttons for changing the track and adjusting the volume mean that you don’t have to fiddle with the iPod in your pocket while you’re trundling along. Simply plug the dinky audio transmitter into your iPod press play and let the CD-quality CyFi do its thing. The speaker itself is light enough and small enough to pop in your coat pocket and it has a range of 30 feet (which should be plenty even if you find yourself dislocated from it due to tumbling into a ravine or whatever sporting injuries might befall you). You can sync up to 4 CyFi speakers for especially large groups of like-minded people and then pack it all away in the neat little carry pouch. Charging for 2 hours via USB will give you over 6 hours of listening time. So whatever you spend your outdoor time doing make sure you’ve got the Cy Fi in your pocket to keep the whole experience in tune.
