2012 was the year of the first edition of Dylan Dog and Sherlock Holmes: investigating the nightmare. (NPE Editions) by Luigi Siviero. Four years later we are back to talk about this book i.e., its second edition, revised and updated.
Dylan Dog and Sherlock Holmes: investigating the nightmare. is presented not only as a guide to the world of Dylan Dog but also as an essay that aims to shed new light on the issues addressed by the series and that over the years have brought it success in the Olympus of Italian comics. Siviero's analysis focuses solely on the episodes written by Tiziano Sclavi beginning in 1986, the year the Nightmare Investigator first appeared on newsstands.
Luigi Siviero's book compares the figures of Dylan Dog and Sherlock Holmes. The result is a thesis aimed at arguing that the former character is a kind of antithesis of the detective created from the pen of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
In Dylan Dog and Sherlock Holmes: investigating the nightmare. there is no shortage of chapters devoted to the creative process of the famous character, the structure of the series, the concepts of horror and monstrosity, the themes of chance and failure, and the series' many literary, cinematic, and comic book references. The book also features an exclusive interview with Tiziano Sclavi.
The new edition of Dylan Dog and Sherlock Holmes: investigating the nightmare. sees its release on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the first publication of the comic strip. Precisely during this month that is on October 28, there will be the return of Tiziano Sclavi to the script after a very long absence (nine years) from the boards of Dylan Dog. The historic writer returns to Sergio Bonelli Editore for issue 362, which will celebrate the Investigator's 30th anniversary with a 94-page story entitled "After a long silence" and designed by Giampiero Casertano.
