Arcana Studio Presents: The Steam Engines of Oz #1

A free 2013 release from Arcana Studio, The Steam Engines of Oz #1 introduces a steampunk reimagining of the Emerald City, where Victoria Wright—engineer and caretaker of its massive underground machinery—disappears into the hands of the Winged Monkeys. After a tense encounter with the Witch of the North, Victoria returns with unsettling doubts and sets off to free three imprisoned figures, beginning a journey that challenges everything she thought she knew. Written by Sean Patrick O'Reilly and Erik Hendrix, with striking art by Yannis Roumboulias and color by Chandran Ponnusamy, the cover by Roumboulias captures the story’s eerie, mechanical wonder.
