Well, if you are living in Sweden (or Denmark like you Jack) you
HAVE to purchase AdesMedias releases of DYLAN DOG!
But why? Dark Horse all ready released Dylan Dog in that
huge Case Files collection you may say… you may even be of the older guard like
me and question if these are the same issues released back in the day as part
of SerieMagasinet or in the eponymous magazine Dylan… which are the same initial
issues that partially figure in the Dark Horse case file…
No. You need to buy these releases from AdesMedia because
these are new more current adventures, they have Groucho back as Groucho was
intended by Tiziano Sclavi, mustachioed and all, and the books simply kick
major ass. Hey, it’s Dylan Dog what else would you expect!
So far four issues, or rather two issues and two shorter
companion books have been published - often accompanying the two main books as
bonus albums, and they are fab. It's Dylan Dog at his greatest!
Vila i frid (Rest in Peace)
De sista ljuva åren (The Last Sweet Years)
En serie mördares bekännelser (Confessions of a Serial Killer)
Av Vargablod (Of Wolfs Blood)
If that didn’t get you all excited, then let me just say
that personally I’ve been missing Dylan Dog for years. The simple fact that a
small indie publisher has the balls to publish something this slim in a market
still ruled by Disney and a honey happy bear called Bamse is fucking amazing.
Yes, I’m sure that stuff like the Swedish translated editions of The Walking
Dead and Game of Thrones released by Apart, opened the door to more obscure stuff, but I for one
certainly lift my hat to AdesMedia for bringing back one of the coolest horror
comics in the world.
These books are great episodes in the life of Dylan Dog and
not only will you smirk at the many nods to classic Italian and to some extent
other European horror that are hidden in the pages, you also get some
wonderfully slick cover art by the best names in Swedish comic book art; the
awesome Elin Jonsson, magical zombiefier Jimmy Wallin and the majestic Peter Bergting, (current with his sequel to The Portent: Ashes (Tecken i Skyn, out now) and Mike Mignola’s
Baltimore)
These albums are a must, and definitely something that every
fan of EuroHorror should have on their shelves. So make a move, go visit
AdesMedia and grab yourself some really cool graphic novels – you won’t regret
it!
