Lea Hernandez’s Ironclad Petal

Lea’s started the third volume of her Texas Steampunk graphic novels:

Ironclad Petal Promo

Galvan Petal is building an automaton friend who will understand her, and a robot to hide herself from the world. But will she be thwarted by Thomas Edison’s hunger for the perfect mechanical woman?

I think Lea’s art is gorgeous, and she’s a great storyteller.

The series runs on girlamatic.com, the sister site to moderntales.com. You can read the current installment for free. A subscription to the site runs $30 a year: and you’re supporting comics on the web.

Lea drew the Manga Guide to XML Schema Languages mentioned back in August of 2005.
