Oh, and if you have had the misfortune of watching the big screen adaptation of the series, DO NOT let it dissaude you from reading the source material! It is miles away from Alan Moore's vision. After that you might want to rent Steamboy, It's a gorgeously animated film that happens, unfortunately, to be weak on writing, plot, and character development but chock full of breathtaking visuals and cool steam-powered gadgets.
And after that, you might consider reading (though I'm almost certain you already have, being a science-fiction fan) the original Victorian science-fiction: The works of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
