''Dylan Dog'' is an Italian horror comics series featuring an eponymous character (a paranormal investigator) created by Tiziano Sclavi for the publishing house Sergio Bonelli Editore. Though published in Italy, the series is mainly set in London, where the protagonist lives, though he occasionally travels elsewhere. Sclavi's progressive disinvolvement has left other authors the task of carrying forward character continuity. Dark Horse Comics has published the English version of ''Dylan Dog'' in the United States. The series is also published in Croatia by Ludens, in Serbia by Veseli Četvrtak and Expik Publications, in Denmark by Shadow Zone Media, in the Netherlands by Silvester, in Poland by Egmont Polska, in Spain by Aleta Ediciones, and in Turkey by Rodeo and Hoz Comics. The film ''Cemetery Man'' (original title: ''Dellamorte Dellamore'', 1994) starring Rupert Everett, was loosely based on the comics. A direct film adaptation, ''Dylan Dog: Dead of Night'', starring Brandon Routh, was released in 2011. ==Publication history== Dylan Dog was created by Tiziano Sclavi, an Italian comics and novel writer, while the graphic representation of the character was elaborated mainly by Claudio Villa, who was its first cover artist too, taking the inspiration from the English actor Rupert Everett, as he saw in the movie ''Another Country''. The character was named for poet Dylan Thomas.〔As declared by the character himself in Dylan Dog No. 8, ''Il ritorno del mostro'', Sergio Bonelli Editore, march 1986.〕 ''Dylan Dog'' series debuted in October 1986 with a comic book entitled "L'alba dei morti viventi" ("Dawn of the Living Dead"), plotted and scripted by Tiziano Sclavi and illustrated by Angelo Stano; it proved to be a huge publishing success in the years to come. May 2003 saw the publication of Issue 200, entitled "Il numero duecento" ("The Number Two-Hundred"), plotted and scripted by Paola Barbato and drawn by Bruno Brindisi. In August 2011, the series has reached the number 300, entitled "Ritratto di famiglia" ("Family Portrait"). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dylan Dog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
