Il gatto Cagliostro
Il gatto Cagliostro is a mysterious feline character inhabiting the eerie world of Dylan Dog, Italy's iconic horror-mystery series. Enigmatic by nature, the cat carries an air of occult intrigue befitting its name — a nod to the legendary 18th-century mystic Count Cagliostro.
Few characters in Italian comics carry a name as deliciously mysterious as Il gatto Cagliostro — a feline figure who slipped into the pages of Sergio Bonelli Editore's beloved Dylan Dog back in 1988, conjured by the imagination of Tiziano Sclavi and Luigi Piccatto right at the dawn of what would become one of Italy's most celebrated horror-mystery series. Over nearly four decades, this enigmatic cat has made appearances across Dylan Dog, Collana Almanacchi, and Maxi Dylan Dog, sharing the shadowy, fog-drenched world of Dylan Dog himself alongside such memorable company as Groucho, Ispettore Bloch, La Morte, and the formidable Xabaras. With 21 catalog appearances spanning from 1988 all the way to 2026, Il gatto Cagliostro is a quietly enduring presence in one of comics' richest supernatural universes — the kind of recurring figure that rewards the devoted reader who pays attention to the corners of the page.
