Lord Herbert George Wells

Born from the imagination of Tiziano Sclavi and artist Luca Dell'Uomo in the pages of Dylan Dog #5 back in 1987, Lord Herbert George Wells is a distinctive presence in one of Italian comics' most beloved horror-mystery universes, published by Sergio Bonelli Editore. Over a remarkable 35-year span across Dylan Dog, Maxi Dylan Dog, and Speciale Dylan Dog, this character has carved out a recurring niche in a world populated by the likes of Dylan Dog himself, the irrepressible Groucho, and Ispettore Bloch — as atmospheric and intriguing a cast of companions as you could hope to share ink with. With 31 catalog appearances stretching from the Copper Age all the way into the 2020s, Lord Herbert George Wells is the kind of enduring supporting figure that rewards the dedicated reader who digs deep into Bonelli's rich, shadowy mythology. If you love Italian comics with gothic atmosphere and a long, rewarding continuity, this is a name worth tracking down.
