One Panel Per Day #10


Clockwork Angels, by Lea Hernandez. She's better known for her collaborations like Killer Princesses (with Gail Simone), but I really enjoy her "Texas Steampunk" releases from Cyberosia publishing. They're very much in the shojo tradition of comics, which is appropriate considering she worked for many years on American releases of Japanese manga. Lots of pretty dresses, but also venom, violence, and strangeness (and if you don't think that describes Japanese girls' comics, you've never read anything by CLAMP, have you?). Anyway, there are two of these so far, Cathedral Child and Clockwork Angels, and the next volume has been in the works for quite some time. Find more about Hernandez and her other project Rumble Girls at her website. Posted by Hello
