Madame Maria Trelkovski
Born from the fertile imagination of Tiziano Sclavi and artist Angelo Stano in 1988, Madame Maria Trelkovski stepped onto the pages of Dylan Dog during the Copper Age and has haunted the series ever since — a figure compelling enough to resurface across more than three decades of Italian comics history. With 34 catalogued appearances spanning Dylan Dog, Maxi Dylan Dog, and Dylan Dog Color Fest, she's no fleeting cameo but a genuine recurring presence in the rich, atmospheric world Sergio Bonelli Editore built around its beloved nightmare investigator. She keeps remarkable company — sharing pages with Dylan Dog himself, the irrepressible Groucho, the gruff Ispettore Bloch, and even La Morte — which tells you everything about the darkly imaginative register she inhabits. For any collector drawn to Italian fumetti and the gothic grandeur of the Dylan Dog universe, Madame Maria Trelkovski is exactly the kind of character who rewards deeper attention.
