Delilah Dirk and Mr Selim are adventuring as usual in Portugal when an unfortunate encounter with the British Army leads to an accusation of espionage and treason. Delilah escapes but swears vengeance against Major Jason Merrick, who has tried to frame her for his own crimes. She follows him back to England, Selim trailing dutifully along behind. This comic is action packed and gorgeously drawn, with many panels of Delilah leaping, running, swimming or vaulting. There are sword fights, shot outs, chases on horseback and explosives. If there is one thing lacking, it is a clear definition of the relationship of Delilah Dirk and Mr Selim. I really appreciate their lack of romantic tension. But it makes me wonder, how long can they keep up this adventurous lifestyle? When will Selim, hobbit-like, wish to set up a cozy house or tea shop of his own? And when that time comes, will Delilah leave him behind?
