Steam Noir - Het koperen hart #2

The second chapter of Steam Noir: Het Koperen Hart continues this Dutch-language steampunk series with a cover by Felix Mertikat that immediately sets the mood — a composed, fair-haired young figure in leather work harness cradles a strange mechanical object while an airship and imposing industrial architecture loom in the amber-toned background. There's a quiet tension to the image, blending the elegance of an earlier era with the grit of a world shaped by gears and steam. With Verena Klinke's writing and Mertikat's linework, this 2017 release from Dark Dragon Books looks like steampunk done with genuine craft and style.
