93. Vögelein by Jane Irwin and Jeff Berndt. Well-done black-and-white graphic novel about a 300-year-old mechanical fairy left alone in a modern city after her Guardian dies. She needs to be wound every day, see, like a clock, and in part the story concerns her search for someone she can trust to do this. The most interesting part of the story is when she stumbles upon an actual Sidhe, one that's been cut off from Tír na nÓg and has appointed himself a sort of boggart, intent on sabotaging human machines. The story is sort of a series of meetings, none of which go quite the way one might expect. Irwin has another comic in progress, one about a chess-playing automaton; it looks to me as though she's only getting better.
