'''''Girl Genius''''' is a [[Web Comic]] (that was originally a print series), and is authored by [[Phil Foglio|Phil]] and [[Kaja Foglio]]. It first began in November 2002, which[[Webcomics Long Runners|was still running as of August 2021]], and has become one of the classics of the [[Steampunk]] (genre, though the comic is called [[Insistent Terminology|Gaslamp]] [[Gaslamp Fantasy|Fantasy]] by the creators) genre.

The title character of the story is Miss Agatha Clay ({{spoiler|Heterodyne}}), who begins as a young apprentice to a type of [[Mad Scientist]] known to the world as a "Spark". Her adventures span over 16 volumes so far. There are also novelizations of the comic's first two major arcs, called ''[[Agatha H and The Airship City]]'' and ''[[Agatha H and The Clockwork Princess]]'' respectively. A ''[[GURPS]]'' adaptation has been licensed, and after years of being stuck in [[Development Hell]] was finally released in early 2022.
