The Victorian

From 1999 to 2004, Penny-Farthing Press published The Victorian, a 25-issue comic that reimagined a steampunk-tinged Victorian-era hero. The series, most frequently written by Trainor Houghton with contributions from Len Wein and Lovern Kindzierski, and illustrated by artists like Claude St. Aubin, Martin Montiel Luna, and Jim Baikie, blended pulp adventure with a dark, atmospheric aesthetic. It stands as a distinctive, creator-driven work from a small press, remembered for its lush visuals and ambitious world-building in a period when independent comics were pushing genre boundaries.
