Thanks BB. Seems to be a lot of Japanese anime (sic) influence. :D Sent this link home and I will start tonight. I remember there was an early Microsoft air combat game that was pulp 9or can now be consider steam punk) back in the late 80′s that I remember. But I have always enjoyed swords, steam engines and flying rockets aka Flash Gorden.

Thanks for that link; What an awesome comic! I loved the What's New — With Phil & Dixie comics back in the 80s — Dragon rocked then — and this is both a great nostalgia kick and a dynamite new thing to read. And I've got SEVEN YEARS of comics to catch up on? Hooray, my weekend's full!

Oh, and you can start for free right at the beginning… you buy the books to hold the books in your hand. You can read them in full (the wecomics, I mean) all the time. So, you can see for yourself.

The starting point is right here:

never got into steampunk, but it does look interesting. Are they artists or writers or both? What is their first book in the series (I never like to start to the latest, always the first), for their blog doesn’t really say.

And food for thought – anyone else notice that Worgen are steampunk?

I love Girl Genius. I first saw the Foglios art on Magic cards and in the Duelist magazine. I thought it was OK but sloppy. Once I found the fun that is GG, though, I didn’t worry about the quirks of their art that bugged me earlier, I just went along for the inventive ride and fun characters.

It has influenced my own love of Steampunk. I find myself sketching weird little gizmobots often enough that I really want to make a bigger IP out of it. Someday. When I have all that time, y’know?
