I don't know if anyone has read the first issue that came out this week but I will share an interesting tidbit with those who are unfamiliar with the Italian Dylan Dog character. He is published by Bonelli Editore in Italy and the character is very much like John Constantine. They are both Englishmen (Dylan lives in London) dealing with the supernatural and such. The interesting bit is that Dylan's assistant is Groucho Marx and whenever his stories have been previously reprinted here in the United States, first by Dark Horse many years ago and then more recently by Epicenter Comics, Groucho loses his moustache and his name is changed to Felix possibly required by the Marx estate. In this current team-up with Batman Groucho remains Groucho. I do not know if DC had reach some agreement with Groucho's heirs or if it wasn't needed. I am not a lawyer but it is definitely more enjoyable when it is Groucho as he is constantly firing off wisecrack after wisecrack very much in the spirit of the great comedian.
