Lady Mechanika #1

Joe Benitez's steampunk heroine takes center stage on this striking cover, rendered by Benitez and Steigerwald, as Lady Mechanika stands confident and battle-ready — long rifle in hand, mechanical arm gleaming, her corset-and-leather ensemble framed by an elaborate golden gear motif. The ornate, aged-parchment aesthetic gives the whole image a wonderfully Victorian sense of adventure. This 2016 Glénat edition is a great entry point into the world of one of steampunk comics' most visually compelling heroines.
