“Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling”

By | Dec 13, 2016 | Reviews

In the first Delilah Dirk book, Tony Cliff treated us to this globe-trotting adventurer who was good with a sword, quick on her feet, and able to see her way out of practically any situation.

Jim Henson’s “The StoryTeller: Giants” #1

By | Dec 8, 2016 | Reviews
