It defies the whole preceding horror tradition with a vein of surrealism and an anti-bourgeois rhetoric. Dylan is supported mainly by his trusty sidekick Groucho (a Groucho Marx lookalike) who adds humour to this grisly genre and Dylan's sombre temperament. The series is mainly set in London, where the protagonist lives, though he occasionally travels elsewhere. Dark Horse Comics has published the English version of ''Dylan Dog'' in the United States in 1999 and 2002. As of 2017, a new English edition was published by Epicenter Comics.
