Some people said it would never happen, for a moment in there some of us even thought it would never happen, but now, over a year since the release of our last issue, it brings me immense pleasure to announce that the fifth issue of SteamPunk Magazine is now available! Featuring everything from emergency welding […]
Just a quick note to let everybody know that there have been a few hiccups with the printing and distribution of issue #5, but hopefully it will be coming to a website near you very soon indeed. We are still scheduled for the release of issue #6 some time in July, and thank you all […]
This long-awaited issue is our thickest yet, coming in at 118 pages of mad science, history, interviews, fashion, and fiction! It can also be downloaded for free from our downloads page.
Printed copies are available from Combustion Books.
BEFORE THE age of homogenization and micro-machinery, before the tyrannous efficiency of internal combustion and the domestication of electricity, lived beautiful, monstrous machines that lived and breathed and exploded unexpectedly at inconvenient moments. It was a time where art and craft were united, where unique wonders were invented and forgotten, and punks roamed the streets, living in squats and fighting against despotic governance through wit, will and wile.
Even if we had to make it all up.
SteamPunk Magazine is a publication that is dedicated to promoting steampunk as a culture, as more than a sub-category of fiction. It is a journal of fashion, music, misapplied technology and chaos. And fiction.
It just may be the most spectacular magazine to ever fight against the spectacle, and it is free. Or as cheap as we can possibly get it to you. Using the latest in Creative Commons technology, we undermine the fascism of copyright while protecting ourselves from direct co-option.
We sell the magazine for as close to cost as we can manage, and we offer it for free PDF download for printing at home.
