Delilah Dirk

Tony Cliff's Delilah Dirk series, published by First Second beginning in 2013, follows the globe-trotting adventures of its resourceful and charismatic title character across three issues. Written and illustrated entirely by Cliff, the series blends swashbuckling action with a warm, witty tone, establishing Delilah as a memorable independent heroine in modern comics. Its lush, kinetic artwork and clever storytelling make it a standout example of creator-owned adventure comics for readers of all ages.
