The story, an early example of what became known as
steampunk , tells the story of Sebastian O, a young flamboyantassassin in analternate history , technologically advancedVictorian era London and his attempts to track down whoever condemned him to prison for his moral crimes andtransgressive literature .Trained as an assassin, the world-traveling Sebastian belongs to the Club de Paradis Artificiel, which included the
lesbian George, thepederast Abbe, and Sebastian's current nemesis, Lord Theo Lavender. While certainly morally unsound (he shoots a police officer in cold blood and has his butler feed it to cats) Sebastian is nonetheless asympathetic character as he tracks down the whereabouts of Lavender, who betrayed him and had Sebastian locked up in Bedlam for offending Victorian morals.Collected editions
