In Platinum Studios' upcoming film, 'Dylan Dog: Dead of Night,' actor Brandon Routh takes on the role of the titular investigator of the supernatural. The movie, based on the Italian comic series of the same name, marks Routh's third go-round as a character with comic book roots, having previously brought Superman and Scott Pilgrim foe Todd Ingram, AKA Evil Ex #3, to the big screen. During our visit to the set of 'Dylan Dog,' the actor told CBR News his current role reminded him of Harrison Ford's turn as Indiana Jones. 'I think it was in the voice of Dylan,' he explained. 'There's all these emotions going on with Dylan, but when it's step up and take care of business time, that all goes away and Dylan puts on his game face -- much like Indy does.'

Another similarity Dylan Dog shares with the esteemed Professor Jones is his level of physicality, something that was new for Routh. 'There was a slight learning curve,' he said. 'Eric Norris, the stunt coordinator, and also Mike Massa, my stunt double, have been very helpful in teaching me.' Entering the world of stage fights and pratfalls was difficult for the actor, with some stunts proving to be too dangerous for him, requiring Massa to take his place. Overall, however, Routh is pleased that he was able to take most of Dylan's on-camera hits. 'You get a few bumps and bruises, but I'd rather it be me when it can be. It makes it easier for the editors to cut and gives me a sense of accomplishment.'

Japanese Suzuki, apparently, is actively working on a new version of the popular powerful motorcycle Suzuki Hayabusa. In the line of the brand for 2018, with the exception of the model SV650X, in fact, there are no new products - only color solutions for old motorcycles.

The stunt training was only part of the challenge that came with portraying one of Italy's most popular comic characters. Routh prepared for Dylan's emotional journey with director Kevin Munroe through extensive script meetings, a process which strengthened his bond with the character. 'My involvement with the story certainly helped me feel more passionate about it; more creatively just a part of it and proud to bring it to the screen.'

Routh's passion for the role was evident while shooting his scenes, with the actor finding the atmosphere on set one that encouraged improvisation. 'When you get there, [the lines] seem easier to say by just changing a few words,' he said, noting that the freedom to adapt dialogue on the fly had a positive effect on Dylan's on-screen relationships with Marcus (Sam Huntington), his best friend, and Elizabeth (Anita Briem), the client who sets Dylan off on his journey. 'That kind of happens on sets sometimes,' he explained. 'As you're here, living it, [those things] can change a little bit.'

While some story elements and character relationships evolved during shooting, Routh remained mindful of Dylan's history. 'I believe we have the idea of what the 'Dylan Dog' comics are,' he said. Visual call-backs to the comics pepper Dylan's office, and the script relies on all of the published stories as a loose backstory for the character, though viewers need not know them to follow the movie's plot. The film also plays with the series' recurring theme of 'humane' monsters. 'Having that [theme] closely linked with the turmoil and the balance between humans and the undead is important,' Routh said.

In acknowledgment of the movie's roots, Routh speaks Italian to an old vampire in one scene, an idea of the actor's. 'I said to Kevin, 'It would be cool to speak some Italian in there,' he recalled. Routh enlisted the aid of a friend to learn the necessary pronunciations. 'I did it fairly well. The way it plays in the movie is that I'm not great at it, so that gives me a little bit of help,' he said, emphasizing his hope for the scene to play as a 'tip of the hat' to fans of the comic book.

Despite the cast and crew's desire to remain faithful to the source material, the realities of adapting the series did require some rather large adjustments. One in particular is the loss of Dylan's sidekick Groucho -- cut from the movie due to copyright reasons -- but Routh feels the character's loss opened an opportunity for the film to create a strong character to fill the void in Huntington's Marcus. 'I think we've established a really cool relationship with these two guys that really makes the movie pop even more and adds a new element that I'm really excited about,' he said.

Another departure from the comics is the film's New Orleans setting. Dylan traditionally lives and works in London; an expensive city to shoot in, but this was an alteration the actor was comfortable with. 'It works perfectly because there's so much mysticism and history with magic and all these crazy things already. It's a great mix. I trust going away from a conventional place like London or New York.'

One unusual aspect of the New Orleans shoot was its accelerated pace. During CBR's visit, an entire fight scene and the sequence that immediately precedes it were filmed, a schedule that is extraordinarily for an effects-heavy feature. 'Everyone -- the whole crew -- is making it work,' Routh said. 'I appreciate having more time to do things and work things out, but that's also part of the process. On some movies, you get a longer time; sometimes, you get shorter. I've had enough experience at this point to be ready, but certainly, most actors will tell you they'd enjoy a little more time.'

advertising

Ultimately, Routh believes 'Dylan Dog' will have a broad appeal and hopes the film's cross-genre elements will offer something new to film-goers, whether or not they are familiar with the character. 'There are horror aspects and there are some funny/scary moments,' he said, likening it in tone to 'Men in Black' or 'Ghostbusters.' 'We're reaching into different [audience] pools. Most people in America don't know what 'Dylan Dog' is, so, even though it's a comic book movie, to people in America it's just going to be this film that looks really awesome.'

Publication history[edit]

Dylan Dog was created by Tiziano Sclavi, a 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.[3] The character was named for poet Dylan Thomas.[4]

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').

Annuals[edit]

In August 1987 a special annual release was added to the monthly series, called Numero Speciale (Special Issue), with one story longer than usual and, in addition, small extra books on various horror-related subjects.

Another annual release was added in March 1991, L'almanacco della paura ('The Almanac of Fear'): together with Dylan Dog stories, it includes articles and curiosities about film, literature, and other topics, all related to the horror theme.

January 1993 saw the appearance of a new annual book, the Dylan Dog Gigante ('Giant-Size Dylan Dog'), so called because it was much larger than the monthly book and because it contained more stories.

Dylan Dog maxi came out in July 1998. This was another annual release that collected together three previously unpublished stories.

Specials[edit]

In October 1990 an irregularly numbered issue came out: Dylan Dog e Martin Mystère – Ultima Fermata: l'incubo! (Dylan Dog and Martin Mystère – Last Stop: Nightmare!). It presented an unpublished story in which the nightmare investigator teamed up with another famous Bonelli character, Martin Mystère. Alfredo Castelli and Tiziano Sclavi wrote and plotted this story, and Giovanni Freghieri did the drawings. The story had a sequel in 1992.

Reprints[edit]

The first reprint series came out in July 1990, the second in June 1991, and the third in June 1996, this time called Collezione Book (Collection Book); in October 2006 the bi-monthly reprint Grande ristampa was released.

February 1997 saw the release of the Super Book, a tri-monthly release that reprinted the special annual issues that had come out ten years before.

Dylan Dog Color Fest[edit]

In August 2007, a new annual was released. Containing 4 new stories, the new comic book was called 'Dylan Dog Color Fest' because it contained only stories full colored and not black and white like the regular series. In 2010 it became bi-annual (coming out in April and August every year). By 2016, each album would contain 3 colored stories - even though some albums also contain one individual story - and it would get published each number every three months. In November of 2018, the 27th album will be released.

Colored issues[edit]

Dylan Dog (like all Sergio Bonelli comic books) is printed in black and white. However, there are some issues that came out full colored to celebrate certain anniversaries. These include numbers that are multiple of 100, decade anniversaries of the series and other rare occasions.

The first full colored issue was # 100, titled 'La storia di Dylan Dog' ('The Story of Dylan Dog'), which told the final chapter of the adventure of Dylan. It was written by Tiziano Sclavi with drawings by Angel Stano. Volor issue 121, 'Finché morte non vi separi' (Till Death Do Us Part) celebrated the 10th birthday. Issue number 200 'Il Numero 200' (Number 200), written by Paola Barbato with art by Bruno Brindisi, was also full colored and was the 'sequel' of number 121 and the 'prequel' of the very first issue ('Dawn of the living dead'). It tells what happened after Dylan's wife dies and how he became the 'nightmare investigator'. Issue 241 and 242 celebrated the 20th birthday of the series. Also in color was Sclavi and Brindisi's #250, 'Ascensore per l'inferno' (literally 'Elevator to hell'). The next full colored issue would be #300, 'Ritratto di famiglia' ('Family picture'). Other coloured issues are number #131 'Quando cadono le stelle' ('When the stars fall', only final pages not in black and white), #224 'In nome del padre' (In father's name), #350 'Lacrime di Pietra' ('Tears of Stone'), #361 'Mater Dolarosa' ('Mother Dolarosa') and #375 'Nel Mistero' ('To Mystery'), which celebrates the return of Tiziano Sclavi in writing the script.

The screaming bell at Dylan Dog's house. Indagatore dell'incubo is Italian for 'Nightmare Investigator'.

Characterisation[edit]

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.[5]

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 does not 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.

Dr. Xabaras is Dylan Dog's worst enemy.

He is also a hopeless romantic who loves and loses a new woman in nearly every issue. In fact, in a majority of his cases, his clients are women, with whom he often has a sexual relationship.[6]

Setting[edit]

The series is mainly set in London, where the protagonist lives, though he occasionally travels elsewhere, such as imaginary realms such as 'La zona del crepuscolo' (Twilight Zone). His address is 7 Craven Road, London, in reference to director Wes Craven.[citation needed]

The Cafe at 7 Craven Road, Paddington, London, was renamed Cafe Dylan Dog in 2013. In 2012, the cafe offered 'Dylan Dog Meal' with beef or pork included, even though Dylan himself is a vegetarian.

Supporting characters[edit]

Groucho, Dylan's assistant, on the cover of a spin-off devoted to his solo surreal adventures.
  • Inspector Bloch, Dylan's superior when he worked at Scotland Yard, remained his friend and father figure even after our hero quit the force. Bloch and Dylan often help out in each other's cases. Bloch is more rational and grounded than Dylan and often disregards supernatural explanations. He is an old but competent officer who dreams of retirement. Though Dylan causes enough trouble on his own, Bloch is also plagued by his hapless underling, Jenkins, whom he constantly threatens to sentence to a life of directing traffic. His graphic representation was inspired by English actor Robert Morley and is named for crime, horror and science fiction author Robert Bloch.
  • Groucho was a Groucho Marx impersonator whose character became his permanent personality (hinted to be because of memory loss in 'Oltre quella porta', #228). Now he lives and works with Dylan Dog as his professional sidekick. Like his famous namesake, Groucho enjoys cracking puns and women, though he does not share his employer's luck with the ladies. Groucho's goofy, off-beat personality helps temper Dylan's moodiness. He also reminds his boss when their finances are in dire straits (almost always), shows up with a pistol in the nick of time and throws it in Dylan's hand right on time, and makes tea. At some point in every issue Groucho makes one or two jokes that annoy Dylan and the person listening to the joke (often a client of Dylan's). An example: '..once, I had a dog which could utter its own name. It was named Woof.'[7]

Cultural influence[edit]

Italian author Umberto Eco said: 'I can read the Bible, Homer, or Dylan Dog for several days without being bored.'[8]

Sales[edit]

Dylan Dog is the second most widely sold comic book in Italy (the first one is another publication of Sergio Bonelli Editore, Tex): including both reprints and new stories, it sells over 120,000 copies each month.[2]

English translation[edit]

American publisher Dark Horse Comics released an English translation of a selection of Dylan Dog stories in 1999. This six-issue miniseries was later completed by a one-shot released in 2002. To avoid legal complications regarding Groucho Marx's estate, the art was altered so that Groucho no longer sports the Marx brother's signature moustache, and was renamed 'Felix'. Every cover in the six-issue mini featured art by American comics artist Mike Mignola.

As of 2016, Epicenter Comics published a new English version of some Dylan Dog stories.

Adaptations[edit]

Cemetery Man[edit]

In 1994 Italian director Michele Soavi directed the film Dellamorte Dellamore (known abroad as Cemetery Man or Of Death and Love), with a screenplay written by Giovanni Romoli and based on Tiziano Sclavi's similarly titled novel.[9]Francesco Dellamorte (his mother's surname was Dellamore) – a sort of Italian alter ego for Dylan Dog – appears for the first time in the third special issue of Dylan Dog, Orrore nero (Black Horror), released July 1989, in which he met the Nightmare Detective, but Sclavi's novel was written before the special issue.

Francesco Dellamorte also appears in a short (comic book) sequel to Orrore nero, entitled Stelle cadenti (Falling stars), where Dylan, Groucho, Francesco and Gnaghi are walking together during saint Lawrence's night, watching shooting stars and talking about life and death. But they are not alone, that night..

English actor Rupert Everett played the protagonist, Francesco Dellamorte, while Italian model and actress Anna Falchi played the female lead. Although Everett, playing Dellamorte, wore Dylan Dog's trademark costume, the Dylan Dog character did not appear in the movie.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night[edit]

Kevin Munroe has directed an official American film adaptation of Dylan Dog starring actor Brandon Routh as the title character. Differences between the comic result in the film being set in New Orleans instead of London, the character of Groucho being replaced by an un-dead sidekick called Marcus due to issues for the production to acquire the rights to use the Groucho Marx name and style, another difference is Dylan Dog's Volkswagen Beetle being black with a white hood instead of the opposite like in the comic. The film also appears to be much lighter in tone and more action-oriented, lacking the surreal feeling, the black humour and the melancholy of the comic book, and the Dylan character is portrayed like more of a scientist-adventurer in the vein of Indiana Jones, rather than the romantic loner he is in the comics. It was originally going to premiere on Halloween 2010 in Italy but has since been pushed back to a 29 April 2011 release. The film has been produced by the independent company Platinum Studios.
