Four steampunk comic ideas.Take one. Make it yours.

Brass, steam, and a machine that has started to want something. Steampunk gives a comic its props, so each of these is built around one drawable contraption: a clockwork sweep, an airship, a chess automaton, the engines under the city.

Press start on any of them and it lands in the premise box of a new comic, where every word is yours to change. Then you pick a look, meet the cast, and Panel & Ink writes and draws the first issue.

No. 1
A clockwork chimney sweep in a city of brass earns its freedom one rooftop at a time, and the last rooftop belongs to its maker.
