Steampunk Brontës

The Sydney Padua webcomic 2D Goggles or The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage last adventure: Vampire Poets features no less than the Brontë sisters. Charlotte and Anne are looking for a missing Emily in London with the help, of course, of Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace.

I had some considerable anxiety over this episode because the Brontës kind of belong to Kate Beaton now, but Vampire Poets has always started for me with Emily Brontë breaking windows for Babbage’s chart, and that’s just how it had to be! Charlotte Bronte provides a description of her sister in the preface to the 1851 edition of Wuthering Heights; Emily did not in actuality accompany the other two sisters on their well-known visit to London, probably because this is just the sort of thing they were afraid would happen. She succumbed to Poetry at the age of 30.

The published episodes are:
Vampire Poets. Part I
Vampire Poets. Part III

If you are wondering what happens with the second part, the author says:

Pocket Universe sequences often have these unexpected quantum episode jumps.

Now you know.
