Steampunk Goldilocks #1 – Free Comic Book Day 2015 offers a beautifully reimagined take on the classic tale of Goldilocks, set against the richly textured backdrop of a steampunk-inspired universe. This edition was released as part of Free Comic Book Day 2015, and it immediately stands out as a creative fusion of Victorian-era mechanics and fairy tale fantasy.

In this alternate retelling, Goldilocks is transformed from a wandering child into a resourceful young heroine with a flair for invention and an attitude to match. She navigates a world powered by steam, gears, and pistons, where the familiar elements of the story—like the home of the three bears—are reborn through a lens of mechanical ingenuity and stylised technology. The bears themselves are reimagined with mechanical enhancements and distinct personalities that make them both intimidating and intriguing.

The writing delivers an engaging mix of action, humour, and narrative charm, suitable for younger readers while still holding appeal for older audiences with its clever genre-blending and whimsical tone. The steampunk setting isn’t just for aesthetic; it plays an integral role in the plot and the way characters interact with the world, providing a layered experience that goes beyond the usual fairy tale retelling.

Visually, this comic is a delight. The artwork is packed with elaborate steampunk detail—everything from Goldilocks’ gear-trimmed outfit to the intricately designed machinery populating the background is thoughtfully rendered. The colour palette leans into the genre with bronzes, coppers, and muted hues that complement the industrial feel while giving the story an immersive, vintage tone.

As a Free Comic Book Day release, this issue is a unique collectible, ideal for those who love steampunk, fairy tales with a twist, or non-traditional comic book storytelling. It also makes a wonderful introduction for younger readers interested in comics that feature strong female leads in imaginative settings.

Now available from a reliable UK-based comic book online shop, this issue comes with fast shipping & secure packaging. It is bagged and boarded with an acid-free bag and board and sent to you in a secure book wrap/mailer, ensuring your copy arrives in excellent condition—perfect for collectors and readers alike.

Steampunk Goldilocks #1 (FCBD 2015) is a charming, clever, and visually rich reimagining that brings new energy to a familiar story, all within a fantastically inventive world.
