IMHO: Delilah Dirk Series
Trigger warning for #3 The Pillars of Hercules for domestic violence. There's innuendo for torture interrogation in #1, but it's not even close to happening. There's no rape or sexual assault!!! There is some rediculous sexism, but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment.
I LOVE Delilah Dirk! This is a great comic series. Each has a different sort of adventure and adversaries. Mr. Selim grows into his role in #1, they struggle to equalize in #2, and in #3 Selim rubs off on Delilah.
I read them all back to back twice. Still wound up chuckling on the second pass through. Also found more details to enjoy.
- Funny. My favorites are "Hi Mr. Selim!" and "I'm escaping" scenes.
- Gorgeous. I'm particularly fond of the night skies in #1, but there's also amazing sea and action scenes.
- Great banter & dialogue
- Technical layout as better detailed in this review
- Love Delilah's mom and uncle
- Love Selim's
- Perfect maps for those of us geographically challenged.
While there are some scenes that would work wonderfully in movie romance, there's nothing romantic on the page. They remind me of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz,in The Mummy but gender flipped while they stay friends and traveling. I LOVE that movie and that couple so much.
The only thing that kinda worries me is the time gaps between each installment. We can't have a very long series if it's all 2 years apart! That's just NOT okay with me. MORE DELILAH DIRK.
Speaking of which, there's this lovely little joke where Delilah is A CAT in Delilah Dirk and the Easy Mark and a short #1.5, Delilah Dirk and the Seeds of Good Fortune.
