Inside the making of a steampunk graphic novel

This volume presents the scripts for the six-issue Clockwork Angels graphic novel, with pages organized panel by panel. It also includes exchanges between writer Kevin J. Anderson and artist Nick Robles, along with notes identifying visual “Easter eggs” placed throughout the artwork. The underlying adventure follows a young man across a steampunk landscape populated by airships, pirates, alchemy, lost cities, and a carnival. Together, the script pages and creative correspondence offer a view of how that world was shaped for comics, while the annotations point to details that can be easy to overlook in the finished images.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Comic writers interested in panel-by-panel scripts and writer-artist collaboration
  • Rush fans curious about the graphic novel’s visual details
  • Kevin J. Anderson fans interested in the adaptation’s creative process

Book overview

Clockwork Angels is a steampunk fantasy adventure-and an innovative multimedia feast! Based on a story and lyrics by legendary drummer Neil Peart, Clockwork Angels became the worldwide bestselling concept album by Rush and was developed into a New York Times bestselling and award-winning novel by Kevin J. Anderson. Anderson and Peart, working with comics artist Nick Robles, brought the epic tale to a visual canvas, a six-issue graphic novel published by BOOM! Studios. Clockwork Angels: The Comic Scripts pulls aside the creative curtain, showing the original scripts, panel by panel, interactions between author and artist, as well as all the secret "Easter eggs" intentionally planted throughout the images as a special treat for Rush fans. Clockwork Angels: The Comic Scripts is a fascinating book in its own right, to be studied by comic writers, Rush fans, Kevin J. Anderson fans-and anyone interested in a truly astonishing story of a young man's journey across a remarkable steampunk landscape with airships, pirates, alchemy, lost cities, a fabulous carnival, and a hero who insists on making his dreams come true.
