Another solid story from the seemingly vast backlog of Dylan Dog comics that we now, belatedly get to read in Sweden. This one actually had me scared some way into the story. Admittedly I was reading this book alone, in the dark on the bottom floor of our house, but still, pretty good going for a comic, which has to do without sound and moving images in order to scare its reader.
The idea with murders being committed in a gothic cemetery full of lifelike, and scary sculptures is not completely new, there have been similar stories before, mostly in film and TV-series, but it's deftly done, with beautiful, evocative black and white art. The script, with its recurring quotes of poetry and repeated idea of "I breathe. I breathe not. I breathe." is also one of the better I've read in a Dylan Dog story.
And again we're treated to a nigh perfect production, with a new original cover by a Swedish illustrator, sketches and alternative versions from the production of said cover on the inside and a yet another text about the series.
A big plus is also that in this story, the "Groucho" character gets to utter some pretty good lines. I really like this character, as I'm a big fan of the original Groucho Marx, and even if this is a weak copy, I must admit that it's still entertaining.
