Windycon: My Talk "Seeds of Girl Genius"
Nov. 12th, 2009 02:05 pmAt Windycon 36 this coming weekend, since Kaja and Phil Foglio are guests of honor, and, furthermore, the con has a steampunk theme, I'm giving a new talk.
It'll be Sunday at noon in the Lilac BD room.
Seeds of Girl Genius: Glimpses from the Romantic Age of Science
The world of the Foglios' complex comic, filled with adventuresome scientists, menacing inventions, and peculiar creatures, mirrors certain elements of our own world. Romp through the history of science with Bill Higgins in a slideshow that examines the fabulous automata of the 18th Century, the science that gave rise to Frankenstein, and the hidden origins of Agatha's clan in a quaint bookstore, 14 years before Girl Genius was first published.
Be there. Aloha.
