Girl Genius 04: The Circus of Dreams
Agatha Heterodyne and the Circus of Dreams. In a time when the Industrial Revolution has become an all-out war¸ Mad Science rules the World...with mixed success. At Transylvania Polygnostic University¸ Agatha Clay was a student with trouble concentrating and rotten luck. But when the University was overthrown¸ Agatha was revealed to be the last of the famous Heterodyne family-and a Girl Genius beyond anyone's imaginings. Now she has escaped from the people who want to control her; and must make her way across treacherous wastelands to find her place in a world of monsters and madmen. "If Jules Verne had written comics¸ he wouldn't have written Girl Genius. He would have been jealous of it¸ though." -Jim Johnson; Comics Buyers Guide
