Steampunk French-controlled Britain... with animals.
Brought to my attention by the ever-useful Judge Dredd: The Megazine, this graphic novel comes from the same stable as Luther Arkwright, and Heart of Empire - both of which I've yet to read, but sound immensely appealing.
Grandville deals with Britain as a French colony - one that is utterly despised by it's occupiers. We see Detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard (a badger) leaving the Socialist Republic of Britain for France via the Railway Bridge the French used to annex Britain to it's Empire...
And, well, that's all I've seen so far. That and a Horse in a studded leather harness showuing 'BLOW THIS COG-SUCKER AWAY!'.
Does anyone know what I'm on about?
Do they ever?
Well, have some linkage anyway.

Edit: I should probably point out that this shouldn't be dismissed, for those with a want of doing so, as 'Furryism'. It's more along the lines of fantasy. Fantasy steampunk at that. Just with animals for the characters.
