New printing technologies facilitated quick and cheap dissemination of images-illustrated books, periodicals, cartoons, comics, and ephemera-to a mass readership. This Victorian visual turn prefigured the present-day impact of the Internet on how images are produced and shared, both driving and reflecting the visual culture of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom this starting point, \u003ci\u003eDrawing on the Victorians\u003c\/i\u003e sets out to explore the relationship between Victorian graphic texts and today's steampunk, manga, and other neo-Victorian genres that emulate and reinterpret their predecessors. Neo-Victorianism is a flourishing worldwide phenomenon, but one whose relationship with the texts from which it takes its inspiration remains underexplored.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this collection, scholars from literary studies, cultural studies, and art history consider contemporary works-Alan Moore's \u003ci\u003eLeague of Extraordinary Gentlemen, \u003c\/i\u003e Moto Naoko's \u003ci\u003eLady Victorian, \u003c\/i\u003e and Edward Gorey's \u003ci\u003eGashlycrumb Tinies, \u003c\/i\u003e among others-alongside their antecedents, from \u003ci\u003ePunch'\u003c\/i\u003es 1897 Jubilee issue to \u003ci\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e and more. They build on previous work on neo-Victorianism to affirm that the past not only influences but converses with the present.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors: Christine Ferguson, Kate Flint, Anna Maria Jones, Linda K.
