Okay! So I stole the image from online, but the review is all mine

Delilah Dirk and the Pillars of Hercules (Delilah Dirk, Volume 3) by Tony Cliff

September 12, 2022 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

Delilah Dirk and the Pillars of Hercules (Delilah Dirk, Volume 3) by Tony Cliff has slightly darker content and images, than the other two novels in this graphic novel series. But it still has the same adventure, humor, and spunk of before. This time we follow our Delilah and her companion, Mr. Selim, as she tries and find a lost city, find treasure, fight the bad guys, try not to die (more than once) and deal with a newfound celebrity status that she really did […]

I have wanted to read Delilah Dirk books for some time. A few weeks ago, I went to the library to pick up a book I had on hold and came out with three others. Two were the first two in the series by Tony Cliff, Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant (V01) and Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling (V02). I have since learned there is a third book, and I’m contemplating finding a copy. First, this is basically a “Sherlock Holmes meets Indiana […]

Sleepy? Who Me?

Let’s Get Sleepy! by Tony Cliff

January 8, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

At first, I was not sure what to think of the book called, Let’s Get Sleepy! There are cats chasing a mouse on the cover of Tony Cliff’s book. Not usually a good sign for the mouse. However, this mouse seems to be enjoying the chase. Um… okay, now what? Now what leads to opening the book and reading about a cat waking up early and ready to go. Mama Cat says I guess Sleepy is no longer around and the little cat says that […]

    I felt the same way. Interesting concept, but the execution was lacking.
