Twilight (Buck Ryan)

Twilight is the female archnemesis of the English detective characters, Buck Ryan and Zola. She appears in the Buck Ryan comics.
== Character History ==
Several men are found floating in the Thames in heavy collars, and Buck Ryan and Zola eventually learn that they were involved in the making of illicit whiskey, under the brand name Frisky. The gang's leader is a girl called Twilight, a slim brunette with hair falling down over her face and head. She is the one who invented the collars she uses to eliminate threats to her operation, mainly men who don't cooperate with her. Buck drinks some of her whiskey and learns one in ten bottles have a highly alcoholic beverage in them. Eventually Twilight and her boys capture Buck Ryan and try to force him to talk, but fail miserably. He later brings her boys to justice and capture the portable tank they use to transport the whiskey to the warehouse where the bottles of Frisky are stored, which is worn by one of them under his coat. Zola traces Twilight thru an advertisement for Twilight Shampoomph, and Buck locates her still in an old boathouse. It turns out to be an old car she was using for that purpose. Zola forces Twilight to guzzle down a whole bottle of her own medicine, after which she lapses into a coma! She vows vengeance in the hospital.
==Notes==
*Twilight first appeared in "Crime With A Collar," the thirtieth Buck Ryan comic strip story.
*Her face isn't fully shown till the last panel of her first story; it's revealed that it's half disfigure and half normal. She has it surgically repaired in a later story, in a plot clearly inspired by the 1943 American remake of the 1938 Swedish film "A Woman's Face."
*She is a highly skilled swimmer, antiquarian and pianist.
