- (Mad) Scientific Fact: The Girl Genius Novel is Out!
Phil & Kaja Foglio’s Agatha H. and the Airship City adapts the first storyline from their award-winning Girl Genius comic series to prose novel form.
- Myth-Quotations
Myth Adventures, Phil Foglio’s comic-book adaptation of Robert Asprin’s fantasy/comedy novel, Another Fine Myth, is being serialized as a free webcomic [Edit: no longer available.], in the same format as Girl Genius. I remember spending a lot of effort tracking down the mid-1980s books on eBay, before they finally reissued the collection. The title of […]
- Artist Encounters
Wednesday morning before we left for San Diego, I made a last-minute addition to my small stack of stuff to get signed: Sergio Aragonés’ issue of Solo. During my first half-hour at Comic-Con on Thursday, I found myself at the Groo booth, face to face with the artist. When I asked him to sign it, […]
- Class Dis-Mythed
Phil Foglio once again illustrates the Myth Adventures universe in the next book in the series: Class Dis-Mythed. I don’t know how much of it is Jody Lynn Nye’s influence and how much of it is just Robert Asprin being re-energized about the series, but since they started collaborating the books have improved drastically.

- It’s Aliiive! Girl Genius Arrives Online
Studio Foglio has been posting the last few pages of Issue #13 (which ended on a rather intriguing clifhanger) over the past few weeks, and on Monday, they posted the first brand-new page at GirlGeniusOnline.com, just three weeks after they announced that the comic would move to the web. Girl Genius follows the steampunk adventures […]
- Girl Genius moves to the web

- Say what?
Today’s Studio Foglio newsletter explains: We often receive phone calls of this nature on the steam-powered studio telephone: Steve Jackson: “Phil. Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls. Are you in?” Phil Foglio: “Okay.” The result, it seems, is a Foglio-illustraded game called Spanc. (Work warning: “features PG-rated cheesecake photo of a pirate catgirl-in-bikini.” ) I haven’t […]
- Mythed Opportunity
I’ve been searching eBay for the old Myth Adventures comics and somehow completely forgot about it when I got to Comic-Con. D’oh!
- Comics YOU Should Be Reading!
Yes, you! Girl Genius, by Phil and Kaja Foglio: “A gaslamp fantasy with adventure, romance, and mad science.” It’s a continuing steampunk adventure/comedy set in an alternate 19th century where warring mad scientists (or “sparks” as they’re called to their faces) have devastated Europe. Graduate student Agatha Clay belatedly discovers her own “spark” as she […]
