Perusing the eldritch tomes of Alan Moore’s Providence, I find myself inclined to resume the endeavor of my Great American Graphic Novel, that which is the Steampunk Americana! Behold its ominous allure: an exploration of the occult underpinnings of our fair country, the relentless march of burgeoning industrialism, the advent of corporatism’s nascent tendrils, and the tumultuous disentanglement and reunification of a nation. The task at hand this day is to discern the society our protagonists may engage with in the waning days of the Victorian Era. It would be my utmost pleasure to weave a narrative that introduces the esteemed Mark Twain and, mayhaps, the cryptic entity, H.P. Lovecraft.
