Biography

  
Basic Info:
   Dylan Dog is an Italian horror comics series created by Tiziano Sclavi and published by Sergio Bonelli Editore since 1986. Dark Horse Comics has published the English version of Dylan Dog in the United States in 1999 and 2002. As of 2017, a new English edition was published by Epicenter Comics.
   Dylan Dog is a penniless nightmare investigator ("L'indagatore dell'incubo") who defies the whole preceding horror tradition with a vein of Surrealism and an anti-bourgeois rhetoric. His clothes are one of his defining characteristics: he always dresses the same way, in a red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans; he bought twelve identical outfits after the death of his lover Lillie Connolly. Even during the worst weather, he never wears an overcoat or even carries an umbrella, since, according to him, an overcoat "would ruin his look", and he thinks that an umbrella is a "useless invention. Especially when it doesn't rain." One of the principal supporting characters in the series is his assistant (or rather, comic relief), Groucho, a punning double of Groucho Marx. Another supporting character is Inspector Bloch, who was his superior when he worked at Scotland Yard and remains his father figure (in fact he calls Dylan "Old boy") even after Dylan struck out on his own to become a private investigator specializing in the supernatural. Dylan lives with Groucho at 7 Craven Road in a cluttered apartment with a doorbell that screams. His hobbies include playing the Clarinet (he only knows to play Devil's Trill, but plays it often) and constructing a model ship which he apparently never manages to finish; he has many phobias, including claustrophobia, fear of bats and acrophobia. Dylan is also particularly susceptible to motion sickness, which is one of the reasons why he rarely travels, and anyway never by plane. Once an alcoholic, he now never drinks. He is a vegetarian and animal rights supporter. Dylan cares little for many aspects of modern life. He hates cellphones and to record his memories, he still uses a feather-pen and an inkpot. Naturally, he loves literature (poetry in particular), music (his tastes range from classical to heavy metal), and horror films. Though perpetually penniless, he doesn't seem to be interested in money. In fact, the usual first piece of advice he gives to numerous clients who have found themselves in his study over the years is to go to a psychiatrist or psychologist. He does not believe in coincidences.

   Dylan Dog Biography:
   The life of Dylan Dog was partially revealed trough comics and his "early days" are not fully revealed leaving space for mystic and imagination, anyway there are some points of his early life which are well know.
In 1686 (three hundred years before the first issue) the scientist and alchemist Dylan Dog Senior, with his wife Morgana and young son Dylan Junior (just three years), is in command of a galleon in search of the last component that will allow him to create an immortality serum. The sea voyage has paid off: The last ingredient seems to have been found in the body of an unknown marine mollusk. Dylan Sr. gets so to complete the serum and decides to experiment it on himself and Morgana. In the meantime, however, an uprising of the crew unleashed: the sailors decide to rebel against the master, and one of them shot him just after he had injected the serum. The effect is devastating: Dylan senior dies and slaughters the entire crew (except his wife and Dylan), but the stranger turns out to be a clam demon who decides to punish the ambitions of immortality of the scientist. Dylan Senior doubles: the good part is sentenced to live for 666 years in exile on an asteroid on the edge of the universe, while his bad side, which will be called Xabaras (an anagram of Abraxas, one of the names of the devil) remains on Earth, condemned to be feared and hated by all. Xabaras can fight the insurgency on the galleon and bring him back to London, where he sinks in the basement of the city. You decide to get rid of the little Dylan and Morgana. The woman, who also became immortal, is drugged and locked in a glass coffin inside the galleon, while the smallest is assigned to an orphanage. The purpose of Xabaras is to continue his research on immortality undisturbed. Dylan Dog last edited by SamanPatou on 07/05/20 12:27PM View full history Origin According to him, the detection method in his profession of nightmare investigator is from normal or rational hypothesis, but more often than what is facing is the nightmare. Dylan is in fact a skillful detective, trained in Scotland Yard Inspector Bloch's orders, and does not believe in coincidences. Dylan Dog is a teetotaler after having had a past as an alcoholic, even as early as the second register is seen in a beer bottle (which in Granderistampa has been "transformed" in orange). Many books, moreover, defines, or is defined by Groucho, "a teetotaler who often forget to sober." In addition, Dylan does not smoke and is a vegetarian for ethical reasons. Creation His name was taken from the poet Dylan Thomas, and was the name Tiziano Sclavi temporarily gave each character before choosing a real name for him. In this case, however, that the name stuck. The graphic characterization of Dylan Dog (produced by Claudio Villa and implemented for the first time by Angelo Stano) is inspired by the actor Rupert Everett, and the atmosphere is typical of London, where the protagonist lives the number 7 Craven Road. The street name was chosen in honor of Wes Craven, writer and director of the popular series of films focusing on the character of Freddy Krueger. In reality, in London there are several streets with this name, but there is only one "Craven Road in the city center in Westminster (the others are relatively remote), and the number 7 is an Italian restaurant called Bruno's Snack Bar", in which is currently selling a sandwich named 'Dylan Dog'. As stated by him on page 71 of the register number 250, Dylan is 185 cm tall and 33 years. History The life of Dylan Dog was partially revealed in the following regular issues: 1 (L'alba dei morti viventi), 7 (La zona del crepuscolo), 25 (Morgana), 43 (Storia di Nessuno), 74 (Il lungo addio), 100 (La storia di Dylan Dog), 121 (Finchè morte non vi separi), 151 (Il lago nel cielo), 200 (Il numero duecento), 241 (Xabaras!), 242 (Nel nome del padre), The majority of them were written by Dylan Dog creator Tiziano Sclavi and penciled by Angelo Stano. Sergio Bonelli Editore announced further revelations about the character's past in issue 300, which is slated for release in late August of 2011. In 1686 (three hundred years before the first issue) the scientist and alchemist Dylan Dog Senior, with his wife Morgana and young son Dylan Junior (just three years), is in command of a galleon in search of the last component that will allow him to create an immortality serum. The sea voyage has paid off: The last ingredient seems to have been found in the body of an unknown marine mollusk. Dylan Sr. gets so to complete the serum and decides to experiment it on himself and Morgana. In the meantime, however, an uprising of the crew unleashed: the sailors decide to rebel against the master, and one of them shot him just after he had injected the serum. The effect is devastating: Dylan senior dies and slaughters the entire crew (except his wife and Dylan), but the stranger turns out to be a clam demon who decides to punish the ambitions of immortality of the scientist. Dylan Senior doubles: the good part is sentenced to live for 666 years in exile on an asteroid on the edge of the universe, while his bad side, which will be called Xabaras (an anagram of Abraxas, one of the names of the devil) remains on Earth, condemned to be feared and hated by all. Xabaras can fight the insurgency on the galleon and bring him back to London, where he sinks in the basement of the city. You decide to get rid of the little Dylan and Morgana. The woman, who also became immortal, is drugged and locked in a glass coffin inside the galleon, while the smallest is assigned to an orphanage. The purpose of Xabaras is to continue his research on immortality undisturbed. During the first night in the orphanage, the little Dylan, however, receives the visit of the demon that had doubled the Marine father (which is nothing but the magic cat Cagliostro), which catapulted him forward in time by nearly three centuries. So it happens that Xabaras, repenting of having abandoned her son when he went back to retrieve it turns out that the orphanage has mysteriously disappeared. These are the desire and the need to find him, which is also carried by the demon in the London of the twentieth century. In its new era little Dylan is taken into custody by a young couple. His adoptive father, curiously, is also called Dylan, and so is Grandpa. Because of this, little Dylan, without knowing it, it keeps the same name it had in the seventeenth century: it is the same child and tell his adoptive parents name was Dylan, and this fact, taken as a sign of fate, convinced them to ask for custody, without knowing anything about the origin of the baby. However, just maintaining the original name helps desperate for Xabaras, which, at first lost in a time not his own, can quickly identify the adoptive grandfather of Dylan. However, the latter manages to trick him into thinking that you are solely Dylan Dog in London and had never taken children for adoption, and hiding instead of having a son, also named Dylan, who lives in Crossgate and has taken in adopting the child. In this way the little Dylan, hidden in Crossgate, is able to live a quiet childhood, unaware of the existence of Xabaras, his real father (or rather the bad half of his real father) who is looking for.
The period of Dylan's life from childhood to the twenty years that it is currently almost entirely unknown. It is known that only about sixteen years he spent his first vacation alone in Moonlight, where he lives a difficult love affair with her friend, Marina Kimball. On that occasion, found the gun model Bode 1889 that became his inseparable weapon. Towards the twenty years Dylan moved to London and became agent at Scotland Yard, under the orders of the inspector Bloch. He has a personal story rather sad widower, he had to grow up alone the frail son Virgil, but never give him the affection that a child deserves. Bloch sees Dylan in all the qualities he wanted in his son and takes him particularly concerned. This arouses the jealousy of Virgil, exacerbating the gap with his father.
Dylan still manages to get by Bloch and private investigator's license, rented an apartment at 7 Craven Road, begins his new profession of nightmare investigator. During his first investigation finds Groucho and takes him as his assistant. In reality it is the latter, a former movie actor who fell into disgrace, to impose its presence in Dylan and care for him, helping him give up the habit of alcohol. With the help of her eccentric assistant, Dylan also manages to break into his new profession. To resolve the first case received as payment, the Volkswagen Beetle. Groucho himself, using the mysterious shop Safari, the investigator completes the nightmare, buying the clarinet, the diary with a quill pen, the bell "screaming." At the same shop (which is actually a gap between parallel dimensions open enigmatic Hamlin) during an auction Dylan had already purchased the model of a galleon.
   In 1986, exactly three hundred years since the beginning of everything, Dylan Dog is definitely dedicated to his profession of nightmare investigator. At the time Dylan has about thirty years (the same age who was then Tiziano Sclavi). The years continue to pass but his age will remain essentially the same (probably thanks to Cagliostro). In 1986 he personally confronted for the first time with Xabaras. In 2006, twenty years later, is the final confrontation between Dylan and Dr. Xabaras. The nightmare investigator finally discovered to have in front of her biological father (but remains oblivious to the fact that in reality the doctor it is only half dark) and discovers that he was born in the seventeenth century. Meanwhile Xabaras seems to have finally perfected an immortality serum, and experiments on himself, convinced Dylan to leave his job to live with him and share his immortality. Once again, however, the serum is not perfect: he gives so immortality, but eternal life is empty, devoid of feelings and sensations. Xabaras, realizing that this is the ultimate failure of his research, he takes his life in the only way possible, by shooting himself in the head. To restore order in the life of Dylan thinks Cagliostro, the cat wizard already starred in his other adventures once again the memory of Dylan is emptied of what happened. Dylan returns to his profession as a nightmare investigator, while the body of Xabaras is transferred into another dimension, from which it will return only when it is time to reconnect with his good half. So the doctor finally disappears from the life of Dylan. The last act of his career has already been told the investigator of the nightmare, even if it happens in an unspecified future. After the 666 years of exile, the good part of the father of Dylan will return to Earth. At the same time Dylan will end his model of a galleon, and it's back to mind all the past events. The appointment for the reunification of the family dog is in the basement of London, on the galleon. Here you will meet not only the good half of Dylan and his father, but also Xabaras and Morgan, Dylan's mother, awakened from their long slumber in his glass coffin. The two halves of the father of Dylan will merge again, and our hero will finally see live together, his real father and his real mother. Following Dylan finally abandon the profession of nightmare investigator and his apartment in Craven Road, to live, perhaps together with Groucho, a new life, free from the mystery of his parents.
