Chitty Chitty Bang Bang isn't just a movie. It's a way of life. That happens to look just like a movie.

In other words, Baron Bomburst was merely playing an actor named Gert Frobe...  Well, that explains all the vehicle-based movie character roles he did...

Screw-On Head is awesome!  Everyone with eyes, or also maybe really good noses, should own a copy.

Would the Nautilus from Disney's 20K Leagues Under The Sea (1954) count as "steampunk" (at least in a visual sense)?  Would that also apply to the Albatross from The Master of The World (1961)?

It's a very common theme in comics worldwide, but sadly underused on the US comics industry.

I would kill to see a JB steampunk regular series!

The Master was one of my favorite JB creations -- started Alpha Flight off as one of my favorite series.

Anyhow, I would love to see some adventures (perhaps drawn in varying styles) featuring the Master at different points in history, including the Victorian age.  He would have the advanced alien technology all through history.  And I guess he was there for everything.  (It's been years since I read it, but I think he was fully functional all that time).
