Have a thirst for adventure...or tea? Then say hello to your new favorite comic heroine, Delilah Dirk. A swashbuckling swordstress with a hot temper and wit as sharp as her blade, Delilah boldly adventures across the early 19th-century world in her flying boat, along with her companion and expert tea-maker Mister Selim, righting wrongs and getting into unnecessary amounts of trouble wherever she goes. Recently picked up by Disney to be a live-action film, Delilah Dirk first appeared in the anthology Flight and then online before getting her first graphic novel collection from First Second Books, Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, which was nominated for Eisner, Harvey and Shuster awards. It was followed by a second release in March of this year, Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling. You can find extended previews of both books at the official Delilah Dirk website, and some preview pages from the second book below. Graphic novelist Tony Cliff on Delilah Dirk's Disney deal
