This year I've tried for a somewhat more accessible array of items that are best
thought of a 'gifts for the Steampunk' rather than 'Steampunk gifts' as I think
that will be of greater utility those those of you choosing presents for the
Steampunks in your lives!.    - Jake.

Girl Genius Comics
Set in an alternate world of mad science, Zeppelins, and mechanical servants
called "clanks," our hero, Agatha Heterodyne must navigate a feudal landscape of
power hungry Barons and criminals who seek to enslave her for talent with all
things mechanical and sciencey. 
There are strong female characters throughout, the writing is clever and quick,
and the pages are beautifully inked and colored.

I like the Steampunk torch and Girl Genius Comics the best. The compass and lanterns are examples of great industrial design with their graceful lines.
