Is Dylan Dog famous outside Italy?

[deleted]

I'm from Italy and I remember reading DD 20 years ago (ahhhhhhh, that's scary).
I was curious to know if you can find DD comics in USA.
Thanks.

Hmm, outside of Italy, it's probably most famous in Ex-Yugoslavian countries, mainly Croatia and Serbia, because there were around 60 issues released during Yugoslavia (which would be at least 5-6 years run), and after breakup both Croatia and Serbia continue to publish them till this day. They publish plenty of other Italian titles too.

Other then that, several other European countries tried to publish them, but didn't last for too long, only few issues (Germany and France for example)

There was few issues released in USA, but they were drastically changed, for example, all of the artwork was redone by Mike Mingola (who did Hellboy), also with storyline changes, mainly because Grucho is "no no" in USA because of copyright reasons from Marx family. That's probably the reason why Grucho doesn't appear in this movie too, and there was no mention of him.

This is why most of us who actually read the comics hated the movie. It only has "Dylan Dog" title in it, but it has nothing to do with comics, at all. They could at least get Dylan's personality right, but that would be too much to ask I guess.
