The Story

In 19th-century Turkey, an officer in the Janissary army must struggle to repay a brash adventuress for saving his life, even though she was the one who endangered it in the first place. The webcomic unfolds with four or six new pages each Saturday. The number of pages varies each week in service to the story, usually determined by which page would make a more cruel, heart-wrenching cliffhanger.

Portions of the story (more or less the entire first chapter) have been previously self-published as Delilah Dirk and the Treasure of Constantinople. However, they were in black and white then. Now they’re in colour!

The Author

Delilah Dirk is written and illustrated by me, Tony Cliff. I’ve been an occasional contributor to the Flight anthology, and I’ve been lucky enough to have my work nominated for two Will Eisner awards.

More information’s available over at TonyCliff.com, where you can find my Twitter handle, among other things (useful if you don’t receive enough links to adorable cat videos).

If you’re not enjoying Delilah Dirk for some reason, whether it be technical, moral, or simply because you just don’t like it, drop me a line. I’m happy to listen to any constructive criticism. Note: I said constructive criticism.
