Where it came from
Dylan Dog #2, titled 'Jack lo Squartatore', was published in Italy in November 1986 by Sergio Bonelli Editore. Created by Tiziano Sclavi, the series emerged during a period of shifting tastes in Italian fumetti, aiming to blend classic horror tropes with psychological depth and surreal humor. This second installment was crucial in establishing the series' tone, as it tasked the protagonist with tracking a modern incarnation of Jack the Ripper, effectively setting the standard for the series' recurring balance between supernatural mystery and social commentary.
The character design for Dylan Dog was famously based on the likeness of actor Rupert Everett, a choice made by illustrator Angelo Stano under the guidance of Sclavi and Sergio Bonelli. The art style utilized stark, high-contrast black-and-white ink work that echoed the aesthetics of classic horror cinema and gothic literature. Upon its release, the series was received with immense critical interest, eventually becoming a cultural phenomenon in Italy and securing a loyal following that appreciated the subversion of traditional adventure comic tropes.
