The Girl Genius Novels are prose adaptations of Phil and Kaja Foglio’s webcomic, retelling the story of Agatha Heterodyne in traditional novel form. Starting with “Agatha H. and the Airship City” (2011), the novels follow Agatha as she discovers her abilities as a Spark and gets drawn into the power struggles of a Europe shaped by mad science.
The series continues with “Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess” (2012), “Agatha H. and the Voice of the Castle” (2014), and “Agatha H. and the Siege of Mechanicsburg” (2020). Written by Phil and Kaja Foglio, the novels expand on the comic’s storyline with additional narration and character insight. They work both as companions to the comics and as standalone reading for those who prefer prose to sequential art.
