Samson and Delilah
The story of Samson and Delilah, Hollywood style, albeit 1950s era Hollywood!
Needless to say, this comic takes a fare few liberties with the Biblical story of Samson, his marriage, and his love affair with Delilah. But it does follow the main story and remains true to the notion that Samson's strength was a gift from God. Having said that, you're not going to find any deep theological significance in this adaptation. For that you'd be better of reading the original story in Judges 13 to 16.
The comic is also full of 1950s sensibilities and stereotypes with regards to male and female roles and relationships, it reads more like a romance story than an action comic. The tone of the comic can kind of be seen in this quote from the first page:
This comic is available to read onine at wowio.com but you must be registered to get more than a 5 page preview. And as this comic has to be in the Public Domain by now, I thought I'd share the pages here. Alternatively you can download a CBR version of the comic here.
