DC Comics will publish the Batman/Dylan Dog crossover series that brought Bruce Wayne into the orbit of the clarinet-playing, multi-phobic, perpetually broke Italian investigator created by Tiziano Sclavi in 1986. Batman/Dylan Dog is a three-issue series by writer Roberto Recchioni and artists Gigi Cavenago and Werther Dell’Edera (artist for the BOOM! Studios best-seller Something Is Killing the Children) that was first published in Italy in 2019-2020. In the series, the two characters meet in Dog’s London digs as their nemeses, the Joker and Professor Xabaras, are finalizing a nefarious pact. The first issue will be released on March 12, 2024, with three covers: a main cover, a variant, and a 1:25 variant, all by Cavenago. The 88-page issue will have an MSRP of $4.99 for the regular cover, $5.99 for the card stock variants.
Dylan Dog was created by Sclavi in 1986 and was first drawn by Claudio Villa. The series is one of the top-selling comics in Italy, and previous issues were published in English by Dark Horse (see “Confessions of a Comic Book Guy: Read the Book, See the Movie (Maybe)”). Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, a film based on the comic was released in 2011 but did not do well at the box office (see “‘Fast Five’ Burns Box Office Rubber”).
