Dylan Dog #257

In "Il custode," Dylan Dog is drawn into a chilling mystery in the isolated Maggwann valley, where a centuries-old sarcophagus awakens a giant in 18th-century garb—only to unleash a killing spree echoing the local legend of the Devil of the Hills. With the help of the doctor Justine Lumley and stationmaster Hugh Beacham, Dylan races to uncover the truth behind the creature’s immortality and find the ancient dagger buried with it before more lives are lost. Written by Giancarlo Marzano and illustrated by Luigi Piccatto, with a striking cover by Angelo Stano, this 2008 issue blends gothic dread and supernatural suspense in classic Dylan Dog fashion.
