PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Tony Cliff - a lifelong resident of Vancouver, British Columbia - began his comics work as a contributor to the Flight series of anthologies. His first major published work, Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, is a NYT bestseller and a Publishers Weekly best of 2013, and was nominated for Eisner, Shuster, and Harvey awards. Delilah Dirk and the Pillar of Hercules will be the third book in the series, following 2016's similarly well-received The King's Shilling. He is strongly opposed to bios that conclude with one quirky attempt at humor.
Cliff's art is striking in both action scenes and in the choice of color palette, used to convey place, tone, and mood. --Kirkus Compelling writing combined with colorful illustrations makes this a book that is sure to delight. --School Library Journal Cliff has created an engaging and daring character that is equal parts Lara Croft and Indiana Jones. --Publishers Weekly Awesome two-page spreads capture the grandeur of their archaeological finds...Delilah's no-nonsense demeanor and dry sense of humor make her a joy to follow... --Booklist
