Steampunk Fables: The Little Match Girl

In Rod Espinosa's Steampunk Fables: The Little Match Girl, Antarctic Press reimagines Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale through a Victorian-era mechanical lens. Espinosa, writing and illustrating this single 2015 issue, blends the story's poignant tragedy with clockwork inventions and brass-and-steel aesthetics. The series distills a beloved fable into a compact, standalone steampunk vignette, demonstrating how genre twists can breathe new life into familiar narratives.
