Emil Kurjak

Emil Kurjak stepped out of the shadows of Italian horror comics in 2000, debuting in the pages of Sergio Bonelli Editore's beloved Dylan Dog — one of the most celebrated dark-fantasy series in European comics history. Created by the legendary Tiziano Sclavi alongside Pasquale Ruju and the art team of Montanari & Grassani, Kurjak has kept remarkable company across his appearances, sharing pages with Dylan Dog himself, the enigmatic Harlan Draka, Tesla Dubcek, and the irrepressible Groucho. His presence stretching from 2000 into 2023 speaks to the enduring, atmospheric world Bonelli has built around its flagship horror title — and for collectors who love the rich tradition of Italian fumetti, even a character with a small but persistent footprint in that universe is well worth tracking down.
