Are you already reading Mike Mignola -- Hellboy, B.P.R.D.? They're not strictly steampunk as a whole, but steampunk elements crop up a lot and they're just grand pulpy fun. (Ironwolf is more properly steampunk, though it didn't click so well with me for some reason; and he was involved in the art design on Disney's "Atlantis" -- he really keeps coming back to those steampunky images)
Miyazaki's Laputa is another classic, and the Moorcock Oswald Bastable books mentioned in the Wiki article were early favorites of mine and in retrospect my first exposure to anything steampunky, although they're rather slight, more memorable for the odd tech and alternate-history angles rather than the characters. Paul di Filippo's The Steampunk Trilogy (http://www.amazon.com/Steampunk-Trilogy-Paul-Di-Filippo/dp/1568581025) is pretty good, and Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age), while more of a cyberpunk SF, has almost a steampunky feel to much of it due to one culture's use of modern high technology to live out a sort of odd recreation of Victorian society -- fun, although it suffers from Stephenson's usual problem of not being able to write decent endings.
