Klappentext

*A brand-new steampunk comics adventure from the hit Starman* writer!

For a young girl named Lumen, it all begins when her home in India is attacked by steampunk assassins. Oh, and that’s also when she learns that her grandfather is the legendary nautical adventurer Captain Nemo, from Jules Verne’s classic Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.**

The year is 1901.

Now Lumen must accept her bloodline as a Nemo and become a true heroine, as she learns to navigate her grandfather’s amazing steampunk existence full of incredible inventions and terrifying dangers. These perils, threatening both her and the world-at-large, stem from a group of villains, all from other late 19th century adventure novels, combining into a cabal intent on world domination.

So with Earth at stake, Lumen’s first murderous foe from among that cabal is another Verne creation: Robur The Conqueror, whose lethal goal is the destruction of Paris.

Lumen N’s exciting life of adventure begins here, with each new exploit that she finds herself a part of, wilder and more exciting than the last!

Collects The Adventures of Lumen N. #1–#4.
