Girl Genius #6

Subtitled Agatha Heterodyne and the Golden Trilobite, this sixth collected volume of Girl Genius promises exactly what the cover delivers: a gaslamp fantasy of adventure, romance, and mad science. The ornate, brass-toned cover frames a confident Agatha front and center — golden-haired and wide-eyed — flanked by a cast of allies including a dashing young man in a red coat and several white-haired figures, all set against a looming castle backdrop. By Phil and Kaja Foglio, it's a beautifully designed package that makes the world of Agatha Heterodyne feel as welcoming as it is wonderfully strange.
