Paziente Zero

Emerging from the richly atmospheric world of Italian horror comics, Paziente Zero made their debut in Dylan Dog Color Fest #2 in 2008, brought to life by the creative team of Alessandro Bilotta and Carmine Di Giandomenico for Sergio Bonelli Editore. This Modern Age character inhabits the shadowy universe of Dylan Dog, sharing pages with iconic figures like Groucho, Ispettore Bloch, and even La Morte herself — as unsettling a roster of companions as any comics reader could hope for. Appearing across Dylan Dog Color Fest and Dylan Dog Gigante, Paziente Zero may have a compact catalog presence, but in this beloved Italian horror tradition, even a rare appearance carries genuine weight.
