Prof. Adam

Born from the dark imagination of Tiziano Sclavi and collaborators Cristina Neri and Nicola Mari, Prof. Adam made his entrance into the shadowy world of Dylan Dog in 1996, becoming part of one of Italian comics' most beloved horror universes. Over a surprisingly long arc stretching nearly three decades, this figure has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with Dylan Dog himself, the sardonic Groucho, the gruff Ispettore Bloch, and even La Morte — a roster that signals this character moves in genuinely consequential corners of the Bonelli mythos. With appearances spanning both the main Dylan Dog series and Dylan Dog Oldboy, Prof. Adam may be a rare presence in the catalog, but rarity in this universe often means significance, and any character who endures across 27 years of Italian horror comics is well worth a closer look.
