I have a request for a comic (graphic novel?) that I have just found the first issue of. The comic series is called Special Branch. A summary of the storyline is:
January 1889, the coast of Liverpool... a Leviathan is dying on the muddy banks of the Mersey. The ingratitude of men has transformed the Great Eastern, a gigantic steamship built thirty years earlier, into a miserable wreck, butchered day after day by an army of scrap-men. But the belly of the beast harbours a macabre secret, the discovery of which will trigger an investigation. When the affair proves politically sensitive, the case is entrusted to Queen Victoria’s secret police: Special Branch.
The series has three issues so far. I have the first and will upload it in case anyone is interested. It looks to be a French language comic that was also released in English or the original scanner translated it when it was scanned.
The issue I have is pretty good. If anyone has the other two issues and would be kind to upload I would greatly appreciate it. It is a murder mystery in the same vein as Sherlock Holmes. Cheers!

NOTE:
I have uploaded #2 and #3 to the Graphic Novels upload section here.
That should help people avoid all the waiting time, captchas and slow downloads at the original site.

Thank you Bob...I was going to do this when I got home from work but you beat me to it. :o)
Teamwork! :>)
This looks very good.
Thanks!
I might suggest that we move the discussion to Graphic Novels or at least put a link there, as well as in the Victoriana group.
