Lady Mechanika

A steampunk-infused mystery series from Splitter Verlag, Lady Mechanika follows its mechanically enhanced heroine through a gaslit world of clockwork horrors and Victorian intrigue. Launched in 2020, this seven-issue run is most closely associated with creator Joe Benitez, whose intricate, detail-rich art defines the series' lush, gothic aesthetic. It matters as a modern standalone adventure that revitalizes the pulp heroine archetype with a dark, atmospheric sensibility.
