I just got the second issue, and I am totally in love with it. Beautiful illustrations, intelligent and creative writing, and instructions for weird DIY instruments!

Jeter who coined the term steam punk and actually invented the genre in the late 70's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._W._Jeter It’s so strange that nobody ever mentions the SF writer K.W.

Bachalo's art is very good, but it can get a bit busy. Unfortunately, I think it was canceled before it actually finished.

The inside of TARDIS looked like the library of a gentleman's club, and Dr. Who dressed like an Edwardian dandy.
