Steampunk Sarah Palin

AUG100742.gifThis weekend we uncovered that image from Steampunk Palin, a one-shot comic book from Antarctic Press with a script by Fred Perry and art by Ben Dunn. Wikipedia will teach you all about steampunk if you need a refresher course.

Here’s more from the good folks at Mile High Comics: “Energy catastrophe has struck worldwide! Massive oil spills, nuclear meltdowns and more leave us desperate for viable energy sources to rebuild global society and technology. Inspired by a little tea party, Sarah Palin hits upon the answer: steam power! She begins the ‘Steam Initiative’, touting geothermal energy as the cure for what ails ya. The heads of Big Oil and Nuclear Power are less than happy with this trend, and they send their agents to do in the Rogue Republican. Luckily, she comes prepared with a set of steam-powered armor!”

The issue retails for $3.99. As Palin continues her Tea Party push, the image might come in handy. Earlier this year, artist Brian Denham gave us a peek at his cover design for the series.
