Oscar Wilde: Soldier of Fortune
Format: Graphic Novel
The adventures of the wittiest snob ever to put pen to paper or sap to criminal. This six issue limited series contains what may be Oscar's most difficult case against a Gay/German/Oriental/Jewish villain that encapsulates most of the major ethnic terrors facing the British bigot at the end of the 19th Century. Will Oscar defeat the evil Dr. Fu-Mann-Berg, or just seduce him for King and Country? Find out by reading Oscar Wilde: Soldier of Fortune!
The Further Adventures of Captain Mors, Air Pirate
Format: Novels
One of the more obscure Victorian Air Pirates returns for adventures that are almost nothing like the original! Since you've probably never even heard of Mors, much less read any of his adventures, this character will be a completely blank slate which any story can be hung on without fear of annoying any one besides Germans and the four non-Germans who have bothered to look up the books and actually read them. One might even wonder why we bothered looking up a real character instead of writing about an existing one at all!
H.P. Lovecraft: Lost in Time!
Format: Whatever we think you'll buy
Holy sh*t! Really? Lovecraft wasn't even born until 1890 and only really wrote in the 20s and 30s? Really? Well, we know that people who like Steampunk like Lovecraft too, so we've fired up the old Deus Ex Machina machine and found a way to zap him and his stories back to 1880 anyway! Hey! Do you want historical accuracy or do you want Sherlock Holmes fighting with Cthulu? Yeah! That's what I thought.
Jules Verne VS The Army of Steampunk Clichés
Format:Books, Comics, some moded action figures and even an Anime!
Evil Victorian bad guys have stolen a nuclear sub, a number of gear driven machines and a computer with a brassy sort of sheen to it and only Jules Verne can get them back! Look out for the bad guy with a clock work... something or other. See the dinosaurs and machine guns that always seem to get shoe horned into these things. Marvel at how little our writers know about actual steam or clock work technology. Watch as Jules Verne, with the help of Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Dole and Bram Stoker fight every damn baddie that was ever written about between 1851 and 1900.
