Comics: Dylan Dog, the detective of the supernatural

He has the face of Rupert Everett, he is a detective and he is English. He is Dylan Dog, a former Scotland Yard agent with a mysterious past of which little is known. He investigates cases crossing to a supernatural and horrific world: he fights vampires, werewolves, and phantoms, but also more dangerous monsters such as racism, indifference and greed for power.
Dylan Dog loathes violence, plays the clarinet and is perpetually building a miniature galleon that he will probably never finish.
A former alcoholic, he warns against the dangers of alcoholism, whenever he can, and does not smoke either; he is also an environmentalist and a dedicated animalist.
Dylan Dog is the protagonist of a famous Italian cartoon strip created by Tiziano Sclavi in 1986, and published by Sergio Bonelli.
Its success is never-ending...
