"But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day."
~Benjamin Disraeli
Welcome back to our regularly scheduled programming folks!
You may well be wondering about this random epigram at the start here from a former British PM. Well its because the idea he espouses has some connection to today's wayfaring so bear with me as always and you will not be disappointed. I promise.
Today we return take a step back from the maddening world of mainstream comic news to once again dig into the pile of books that I keep around just to break the mold and keep it interesting - nothing like a good rolled up book to whack and break things eh?
For today's wayfaring we head into shallow waters I normally don't tread - those known as the sea of Antarctic Press! Ordinarily I tend to steer clear of these manga filled straits with their weak story-telling and average and uninspiring art with ladies more...ahem, prodigious... then even regular comics. But I came across by chance a most unusual series that fed my love of humour, creativity and that rare ingredient: Steampunk!
I don't know about everyone else out there but as a genre it is one of the most fun to see in comics with the potential for such visual awesomeness, few others can compare just by default - in fact the works of greats like H.G.Wells and Jules Verne (just to name some familiars) are prime examples of how it can capture the imagination. Of course though we refer to comics so take the examples of works like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (not that weak-arsed movie please) by Alan Moore, Iron West by Doug TenNapal and Ignition City by Warren Ellis to name but a few.
So without further build up I present to you: TIME LINCOLN!
