Oh dear. Words rather fail me upon this perfectly exquisite series. The setting is Victorian London, in which are recounted a number of short stories involving members of a “gentlemen’s club,” all dressed up in their wealth & privilege, no doubt feeling perfectly insulated by that layer, and therefore conducting themselves rather abominably, across a variety of situations.

Anyway, I won’t interrupt again. More info after the story is finished.

Green Manor is one of the modern BD masterpieces, thanks to writer Fabien Vehlmann and artist Denis Bodart. Originally three tomes, it is sometimes condensed in to two tomes across translation. My advice? RUN (don’t walk) if you ever have a chance to pick up this phenomenal BD series.

    If you liked this, you might enjoy Anno Dracula by Kim Newman. Alternate history/horror/parody which posits that Dracula overcame Van Heling et al and became Prince Consort after turning Queen Victoria into his vampire bride.

        “Seven Days…” is a graphic novel, ‘Anno Dracula’ started as a novel [may have been adapted]

        Another Victorian comedy. “Flashman At the Charge.” A cowardly, conniving cad sleazes his way into being appointed guardian of Prince Albert’s horniest nephew… Geoge MacDonald Fraizer
