SteamPunk Magazine was an online and print semi-annual magazine devoted to the steampunk subculture[1] which existed between 2007 and 2016. It was published under a Creative Commons license, and was free for download.[1] In March 2008, SteamPunk Magazine began offering free subscriptions to incarcerated Americans, as a "celebration" of 1% of the US population being eligible.[2]

SteamPunk Magazine was formerly published by anarchist zine publisher Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness[3] in the United States and by Vagrants Among Ruins in the United Kingdom. The magazine was then published by the worker-run Combustion Books[4] in New York City and distributed by anarchist publishing collective AK Press.[5]
