Il Diavolo

Il Diavolo is a supernatural figure from the Italian horror anthology Oltretomba, representing the Devil himself within Sergio Bonelli Editore's Bronze Age horror universe. The character later crossed over into the Dylan Dog mythos, connecting Bonelli's classic horror titles.

Born in the pages of Oltretomba in 1973, Il Diavolo is a Bronze Age creation from Sergio Bonelli Editore with a presence that has stretched across more than five decades of Italian comics. Though modest in total catalog appearances, this character's longevity is striking — surfacing across titles like Dylan Dog and Dylan Dog presenta - L'enciclopedia della Paura, rubbing shoulders with beloved Bonelli icons such as Dylan Dog, Groucho, and Ispettore Bloch. For collectors drawn to the rich, atmospheric world of Italian genre comics, Il Diavolo is a fascinating thread connecting the horror anthology tradition of the early seventies to the enduring Bonelli universe we know today.
