Maybe not Steampunk per say, but Gotham by Gaslight was a wonderful tale.

Here's a little Steampunk-esque modeling I did a few years back. . .

I don't know if it qualifies as "Steampunk," but Phil Foglio's 'Girl Genius' comic series certainly has lot's of Victorian-style mad science and fantasy...

Heh, JB's reply made him sound almost like one of the comics "Jägermonsters!"

Basically, "Steampunk" revolves around re-interpretation of modern devices implementing Victorian-age technology.
The movie "Van Helsing" gave a good example with Van Helsing, back at "HQ", going through a 007-oriented-by-Q riff ("Now pay attention Bond" ... "What in the name of Allah is wrong with you?!?")

I am sure there are, but are there completely Steampunk comics?
- Yes, there is a series with art by Chris Bachalo imaginatively titled... Steampunk.

Amazing Screw-On Head.
The Wild Wild West (TV Series) was my introduction to Steampunk.

I think Neil Gaiman created a steampunk comic called "Mr. Hero" for Tekno Comics, but he didn't actually write it so I never read it. It was about a robot that was Victorian, or something along those lines.

Oh, I loved Amazing Screw-On Head! Didn't think of that as Steampunk as it was American.
Likewise, Brisco County Jr.
Both of those, I quite enjoy.

For some reason I was thinking more of a WW1 German officer on a zeppelin wearing a monicle, a brassy trimmed uniform, white gloves, and a pikelhaube.
Cue: "You're my little choochy face!"
