Delilah

Few characters can claim a debut rooted in one of history's most enduring stories, but Delilah steps onto the Golden Age comics page in 1950 with all the weight of legend behind her. Across a surprisingly long publishing span stretching into the late 1980s, she appears in titles ranging from Samson and Delilah to the provocatively named Outrageous Tales from the Old Testament, sharing her pages — and her story — with the mighty Samson himself. Published by Knockabout, her small but striking catalog presence speaks to a character whose mythic origins have kept her irresistible to comics storytellers across the decades. If you're drawn to the intersection of ancient narrative and sequential art, Delilah is a fascinating thread to pull.
