The daughter of a diplomat and an artist, Delilah grew up traveling the world. She studied archery in France, acrobatics in Indonesia, survival in the jungles of India, and fighting in Japan. She's a member of several royal courts, owns a flying machine, and is a skilled escape artist. She is not someone you want to mess with. So when she winds up in a Turkish prison, she is not concerned. The question on her mind isn't how she will escape or even when she will escape. It's where did the Lieutenant in charge of her interrogation learn how to make such a fine cup of tea?
This comic has everything that I look for in an adventure: a strong lead, witty banter, gorgeous visuals, and tea! Okay, so maybe I don't usually look for the last one in adventure tales, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. Delilah is a classic action hero with an improbable laundry list of skills, moral ambiguity, and foolhardy confidence but Cliff twists these elements into something unique.
