Welcome to the Girl Genius Wiki, a fan-created resource for the fabulous gaslamp fantasy comic, and now a fabulous webcomic, produced by Studio Foglio.

This wiki has received official acknowledgment from Kaja Foglio herself!

"It's amazing, and we sometimes use it to look things up when we're in a hurry."

—Professoressa Kaja Foglio^[1]

Congratulations to Kaja Foglio, Phil Foglio, Cheyenne Wright and everyone at Studio Foglio for winning the first three Hugo awards in the Best Graphic Story category.^[2]

Girl Genius is an epic graphic novel published online for free every M-W-F. Any entry here may contain spoilers for the current storyline. So if you somehow arrived here first, head over to the first page ✣ and start reading! The guy in the bowler hat is Professor Phil Foglio himself.

If you are new to Girl Genius you may find this brief description to be helpful. There is also a page that will help you read the story in print.

— The fine print —

This site is not approved by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Studio Foglio, LLC or Airship Entertainment. This site contains portions of images clipped from the comic. Since they found us and linked to us (eeeee!), we hope this means our use of clipped images is "fair". No copyright infringement is intended. (See Copyrights) Of course, as TPU students, we strive for utmost accuracy and being absolutely, positively non-biased in our research on the early life of Agatha Heterodyne. Especially where the powerful, brilliant, perfectly reasonable, charming, dashingly handsome Baron is concerned. (Did we mention reasonable?) Any inaccuracies or omissions are the fault of our textbooks, we swear.
If you remember What's New with Phil and Dixie, the guy in the bowler hat may look familiar.
