The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage

In The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, mathematician Ada Lovelace and inventor Charles Babbage team up in a delightfully anachronistic Victorian-era comic series from Penguin Random House, launched in 2015. The series reimagines Babbage’s Analytical Engine as a working steampunk computer, with the duo solving historical and fantastical problems through wit, science, and humor. Though only one issue has been published, the project is notable for its playful, well-researched fusion of real 19th-century figures and alternate history, celebrated for its charming art and clever footnotes. It remains a unique, cult-favorite entry in the realm of educational graphic novels.
