Lost in the library (part 13 of 13) - Batman/Dylan Dog



Batman/Dylan Dog 
by Roberto Recchioni, Gigi Cavenago and Werther Dell'edera

My entire exposure to Dylan Dog is a single drunk viewing of that Rupert Everett movie 30-something years ago, and flicking through a comic digest at an Italian service station years later, but that’s enough – like Batman, he is a deeply simple character that you can do any type of story with. 

But while I don’t have enough experience with the character to know if this is the style for a Dylan Dog series, this deep into the 21st century, I know enough about Batman comics to say that the energetic style of this series is something special. 

Combined with a colour palette that is often sadly lacking in many Bat-stories, this is an entertaining and vibrant effort. Maybe there are a lot of Dylan Dog comics like this, but there sure should be more Bat-comics with this kind of life to them.
