DYLAN DOG


Nakon što je godinama Sergio Bonelli Editore preferirao western tematiku u svojim stripovima, u prvoj polovici 80-tih godina prošlog stoljeća došlo je do naglog zaokreta u odabiru tematike novog vala stripova. Godine 1982. pojavio se Martin Mystere koji se bavio tematikom velikih zagonetki i misterija. Taj se odabir pokazao kao pun pogodak te je strip doživio veliki uspjeh. Motivirani uspjehom stripa koji se bavio nečim potpuno novim trebalo je odabrati temu koja će biti nova i dovoljno dobra da zainteresira čitatelje. Tada na scenu stupa mladi scenarist koji je do tada radio scenarije za druge junake u Sergio Bonelli Editore (Zagor, Mister No) i koji je, kako se poslije pokazalo, kreirao jednog od najvećih likova talijanskog stripa i postigao ogroman uspjeh u Italiji i u cijelom svijetu. Taj mladi scenarist zvao se Tiziano Sclavi, tema koju je odabrao je bio horror , a glavnog junaka je nazvao Dylan Dog. Potpuno neočekivano, prve epizode postižu ogroman uspjeh u Italiji, jer je publika očito bila gladna novih i zanimljivih tema, te se horror tematika pokazalapuno zanimljivijom nego što se očekivalo. Dylan Dog već nakon nekoliko brojeve zauzima visoko drugo mjesto po prodavanosti Bonellijevih izdanja odmah iza Texa Willera. U zlatnim vremenima Dylan se prodavao u preko milion primjeraka worldwide, dok danasnja tiraža ovog junaka iznosi jos uvijek nevjerojatnih 300 000 primjeraka mjesečno!!! Veliki doprinos ovakvoj prodaji možemo potražiti u činjenici da je Dylan Dog jedan od rijetkih stripova koji je naišao na dobar prijem u ženskom dijelu populacije, koje čine dobar dio Dylanovih čitatelja!

Dylan je detektiv, istražitelj, ali ne bilo kakav detektiv; on je, kako je sam sebe prozvao, istražitelj noćnih mora. Iako prilično mlad, iza sebe već ima karijeru policajca Skotland Yarda, liječeni je alkoholičar, iza njega su i desetine slomljenih srca, no tko je zapravo Dylan Dog niti sam on ne zna jer njegova je prošlost još poprilično prekrivena velom tajne. Za razliku od svog kolege Sherlocka Holmesa koji je inspiraciju nalazio svirajući violinu on svira klarinet, te u slobodno vrijeme slaže modela galije koju vjerovatno neće nikada dovršiti. Lice Dylana Doga je lice britanskog glumca Ruperta Evereta, što je samo još jedan u nizu Bonelijevih junaka čije lice je uzeto od poznatih glumaca (Ken Parker, Nick Raider, Magico Vento, Tex Willer...). Ako ste zainteresirane za njegove usluge možete ga naći u Craven Roadu broj 7 u Londonu, njegove usluge koštaju 50 funti dnevno plus troškovi, ali nerijetko će preuzeti neki slučaj i bez naknade, tek da zadovolji svoju znatiželju. Najslabija Dylanova točka su lijepe žene sa kojima gotovo u svakoj epizodi završi u krevetu. Nije to tipično »macho« zavođenje koje susrečemo kod nekih drugih junaka, Dylanov pristup ženama je poseban pomalo sjetan, iskren i nabijen emocijama, ali te veze gotovo uvijek traju samo jednu epizodu.

Svijet Dylana Doga je svijet koji mi poznajemo, znači sadašnjost. To je na neki način jedan od problema jer su autori ovom liku točno odredili starost tako da je neminovno da će morat ostariti iako se danas još odlično drži. Glavno mjesto radnje je London u kojem se na samom početku ovog serijala odvijalo najviše epizoda. Kasnije se radnja širila po svim djelovima Velike Britanije i svijeta. Budući da se Dylan Dog bavi jedinstvenim zanimanjem u njegovom svijetu susrećemo sve vrste čudovišta (vampiri, vukodlaci, vještice, čarobnjaci, gnomi...) i ljudi bolesnog uma. Iako se u mnogim epizodama nalazi velika količina krvi, odsječenih glava i strašnih prizora morbidnih ubistava Dylanov svijet odiše velikom dozom poezije i melankolije.

Groucho Marx je Dylanov pomoćnik i najbolji prijatelj. Njegov lik je preuzet od poznatog američkog glumca i komičara Groucho Marxa, jednog od urnebesne braće Marx. On se pojavljuje od prvog broja i omiljena zabava mu je pričanje glupih šala svakome tko ih je u prilici čuti, a to su najčešće Dylan i njegovi klijenti,.na njihovo veliko zgražanje. Nekada sa svojim šalama zna pretjerati no u većini slučajeva samom Dylanu je od velike pomoći, pogotovo kad u ključnom trenutku treba dobaciti Dylanu pištolj kojim ovaj treba ubiti čudovište! Inspektor Bloch je Dylanov bivši šef iz policijskih dana i njegov veliki prijatelj. Budući da je važna osoba u Scotland Yardu nebrojeno puta je pomogao Dylanu sa korisnim informacijama, a i nekoliko puta mu je spasio život. Njihov odnos je više očinski nego li prijateljski iako Bloch često zna prigovarati kako zbog Dylana nikad neće dočekati zasluženu penziju. Jedna od karaktiristika mu je da ne podnosi krv i da redovito povraća na mjestu zločina.

Doktor Xabaras je najveći Dylanov neprijatelj koji se pojavio već u prvom broju. Opsjednut serumom besmrtnosti ovaj čovjek bolesnog uma nekoliko puta je stao na put Dylanu. Nažalost, sudbina se ružno poigrala sa Dylanom jer upravo Doktor Xabaras je njegov otac. Smrt je česti Dylanov neprijatelj. Naravno, ona je prisutna kod svih Bonellijevih junaka, ali kod Dylana je ona prikazana kao fizička osoba u dugoj crnoj halji sa kapuljačom koja u ruci drži kosu. Iz epizode u epizodu nastavlja se nadmudrivanje ova dva protivnika.

Glavni pisac i scenarist je i dalje Tiziano Sclavi, iako je u zadnje vrijeem puno pažnje i vremena posvetio drugim projektima i obavezama, tako da su priliku dobili i ostali scenaristi kao Claudio Chiaverotti, Pasquale Ruju, Medda/Sera/Vigna (tvorci Nathana Nevera), Luigi Mignacco i još mnogi drugi...Grafički kreator Dylana Doga je Claudio Villa koji je do 42. broja crtao i naslovnice , a nakon toga ga zamjenjuje Angelo Stano čije radove možemo vidjeti i danas. Osim njih dvojice, veliki doprinos Dylanovom uspjehu dali su i ostali odlični crtači među kojima ćemo istaknuti najbolje i najpoznatije kao što su Carlo Ambrosini, Bruno Brindisi, Gianpiero Casertano, Giovanni Freghieri, Nicola Mari, Montanari&Grassani i Corrado Roi.

Dylan Dog je trenutno u laganom padu i očito je da autori ne mogu držati isti nivo kvalitete kroz ogroman broj izdanja. U zadnje vrijeme se često pojavljuju već viđene priče i čitatelji sa negodovanjem promatraju što se događa s njihovim omiljenim junakom. Za nadati je se da će se stari lisac Sclavi probuditi iz zimskog sna i vratiti u formu, a intrigantno je i pojavljivanje stranih scenarista poput Robina Wooda, autora jedne od najboljih Dylanovih priča u zadnjih par godina - DD Gigante #9 "L'esercito del'male" i koji pokazuje da ima snagu i maštu da vrati Dylana na vrh talijanske strip produkcije.
Bez obzira na tamne oblake koji su se nadvili nad našim junakom, uvjereni smo da će Dylan uspjeti pobijediti i ovog protivnika!

SEVENTH SON OF A SEVENTH SON


Here they stand brothers them all
All the sons divided they'd fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one.

Here the birth from the unbroken line
Born the healer the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds

[Chorus:]
Seventh son of a seventh son

Then they watch the progress he makes
The Good and the evil which path will he take
Both of them trying to manipulate
The use of his powers before it's too late

[Chorus:]

Today is born the seventh one
Born of woman the seventh son
And he in turn of a seventh son
He has the power to heal
He has the gift of the sechond sight
He is the chosen one
So it shall be written
So it shall be done



ANGEL OF DEATH


Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The why that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free


NIGHT CRAWLER

Howling winds keep screaming round
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its' cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught

Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you

Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler

As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind

Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs

Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood



COME TO THE SABBATH

Come, come to the Sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come, come to the Sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of Hell
First we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken

Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
And evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Lead the Enochian key
And so it will be done, Amen...now come
Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...

[SOLO: H.SHERMANN]

If you say heaven I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him I say revenge
My sweet Satan you're the one


FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
chorus:
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now the will see what will be, blinded eyes to see
chorus


HOLLOW

What's left inside him?
Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me?
We seemed like bothers
Talked for hours last month
About what we wanna be
I sit now with his hand in mine
But I know he can't feel...

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

I'm close with his mother
And she cries endlessly
Lord how we miss him
At least what's remembered
It's so important to make best friends in life
But it's hard when my friend sits with blank expressions

No one knows
What's done is done
It's as if he were dead

He as hollow as I alone now
He as hollow as I alone
A shell of my friend
Just flesh and bone
There's no soul
He sees no love
I shake my fists at skies above
Mad at God

He as hollow as I converse
I wish he'd waken from this curse
Hear my words before it's through
I want to come in after you
My best friend

He as hollow as I alone

INDIANS

We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else's fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve

[BRIDGE:]
FORCED OUT - Brave and mighty
STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it
HOLD ON - To pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin'
WE'RE DISSIN' THEM ...

On reservation
A hopeless situation

Respect is something that you earn
Our Indian brother's getting burned
Original American
Turned into, second class citizen

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS:]
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, Cry, Cry for the Indians

Love the land and fellow man
Peace is what we strive to have
Some folks have none of this
Hatred and prejudice

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[MOSH PART]

THE FAMILY GHOST

[SOLO: Andy.]
The darkness came closer to home on the
following night
And Miriam slept like a rock when
Jonathan's face went white

The bedroom was ice cold
But the fire was burning still
The blinding light
The Family Ghost had risen again...The Ghost

"Don't be scared, Don't be scared now My Friend
I am Count de LaFey
Let me take You to the crypt down below
Where Abigail rests"

"Let Miriam sleep
She never would understand
Now come let us go...It's time to know"

[SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy]

"Beware of the slippery stairs
You could easily fall and break Your neck
Hand me that torch and I will lead the way
To the secret in the dark
Take a look into the vault, the Vault
The sarcophagus...of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years
stillborn", Born...Born...Born

"The spirit of Abigail is inside Your Wife
and there's only one way You can stop
the rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now"


DEATH IN FIRE

The wait is soon at end
Always charge never bend
Morning is here, make your stand
Live for honor, glory, death in fire!

Total war is here
Face it without fear
Age of sword, age of spear
Fight for honor, glory, death in fire!

See the fire rise
Flames are raging high
Soon all will burn and die
Burn for honor, glory, death in fire!

Storm of lethal flames
Only death remains
Ragnarok is closing in
Die for honor, glory, death in fire!

Forces of chaos is on the move
Everyone, choose your side
And know the end is coming soon
The day for all to die

The day is here when Bifrost breaks
Nor sun or moon will rise
When the dead rise from their graves
and Surtur spreads his fire

All you know will wither away
And sink into the sea
A new world will be born one day
Where everyone is free

[Lead Sćderberg]

Total war is here, face it without fear
Age of sword, age of spear
Fight for honor, glory, death in fire!

Storm of lethal flames
Only death remains - Ragnar?k is our fate
Die for honor, die for glory
Die, death in fire!

MASTER OF PUPPETS

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

[Chorus:]
Taste me you will see
more is all you need
you're dedicated to
how I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
obey your Master
your life burns faster
obey your Master
Master

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
[End Chorus]

Needlework the way, never you betray
life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
chop your breakfast on a mirror

[Chorus]

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
now your life is out of season

[Chorus]

DANTE´S INFERNO

Through the fiery caverns we sail
Virgil at my side my guide and master
Questing through the nine plains of hell
Infernal wisdom shall fill my soul
Slowly now the days departing
The darkened air releases me
Frightening visions of my journey
Entrance me to limbo I'm not
Free

Abandon all hope who enter here
Enter the gates, Charon awaits

Abandon all hope who enter here
For this is where all things are left behind
Every doubt and every cowardice must die
Souls of rage and anger whipping in despair

The souls that wail on this plain pray for death
Denial is the reason for their suffering
Forever being stung by wasps and demons breath
The blood and tears that fall serve the maggots need

Descention, thrusting to the second plain
Minos judges as his tail twines
Lustful thoughts and greed whip these wretched souls
A hurricane of hate mocks their helpless pleas

Drifting now down deeper, into eternal flames
Awake at the third circle, the cold and filthy rain
Punished for their gluttony, languid for all time
The earth it stinks of corpses, damned for all time
The vicious beast Cerebus, three heads, blooded eyes
Tears his talons through the air, all the skinners cry

Down, be still thy cursed wolf
The master scorns its name
Dive to the next plain
The sullen and the vain
Suffer for greed
The prodigal they bleed
For all eternity
Plutus holds the key

Damned, the wrathful and the vain
Suffer the fifth plain
Cross the river Styx
Heed your crucifix
The mudded corpses cry
Howling to the sky
Reach the other side
Open wide the gate

Enter the sixth circle of barren land and flames
Passing through the gate of dis the furies scream her name
Belching forth in agony invoking her to rise
The spirit's rage consuming us the evil in their cries
Queen of vipers, queen of serpents
Cast their souls to stone
Spread to wealth of Gorgon's power
Medusa's inner soul

We're drawing ever closer to the seventh hell
They violate their neighbors, their god and themselves
We're sailing slowly through the boiling river of blood
Immersed in the depths below souls scream in agony
The twisted beast he laughs, he draws his arrow back
His sights on anyone exposing of their flesh
He impales their hearts with ease
And shrugs their piercing screams
Pity is they'll never die
They'll suffer here eternally

Imagine a place where every horror comes to life
Where every torture is real and time stands still
Eight fiery steps and we're closer to the end

In a cold and timeless grave buried head first in shit
Praying all the while for a quick & painless death
Scratching furiously at scabbed and oozing wounds

Lucifer ... angel of light
Cast below god of ice
Ruling hell unholy trinity
The traitors freeze for all eternity
Lucifer ... betrayer of god
Tormentor ruthless and cold
Judas' screaming here in agony
The traitors freeze for all eternity


ZERO TOLERANCE

In the dark of night...
Abusing a portion of light
While others are sleeping
And some are escaping
A serpent spews out fantasy-
Unjustified blasphemy
That cannot be condoned

[Solo: Schuldiner]

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done

[Chorus:]
There will be zero tolerance
For the creator of hallowed intentions
There will be zero tolerance
Fate is your deciding God

[Solo: Schuldiner / Solo: Koelble]

Karma comes crashing down
Leaving a very deep scar
Exposing a door to the
Source of a verbal whore
Machines supply the altar
Where virtuous lives are sacrificed

[Solo: Koelble]

It must be strange to not have lived
So far into existence

This is not a test of power
This is not a game to be lost or won
Let justice be done


AM I EVIL?

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.

Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.
Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice.
Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.

As I watched my mother die, I lost my head.
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread.
Taking no chances, you come with me.
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free.

Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.
Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice.
Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.

On with the action now, I'll strip your pride.
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride.
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat.
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire.
You can come with me, sweet desire.
My face is long forgot, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

My soul is longing for, await my heir.
Sent to avenge my mother, sweep myself.
My face is long forgot, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

Am I evil? Yes I fucking am.
Am I evil? I am man, yeah.




SATURDAY NIGHT

There's 52 ways to murder anyone
One or two are the same,
And they both work as well
I'm coming clean for Amy,
Julie doesn't scream as well
And the cops won't listen all night
And so maybe, maybe I'll be over
Just as soon as I fill them all in

And I can remember when I saw her last
We were running all around and having a blast
But the back seat of the drive-in
Is so lonely without you
I know when you're home
I was thinking about you,
There was was something I forgot to say
I was crying on a Saturday night
I was out cruising without you,
They were playing our song
Crying on Saturday night

As the moon becomes the night time
You go viciously, quietly away
I'm sitting in the bedroom,
Where we used to sit and smoke cigarettes
Now I'm watching, watching you die

I can remember when I saw her last
We were running all around and having a blast
But the back seat of the drive-in
Is so lonely without you
I know when you're home
I was thinking about you,
There was was something I forgot to say
I was crying on a Saturday night
I was out cruising without you,
They were playing our song
Crying on Saturday night


COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in set, now pay the price
An ego boost don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
The hunt is canned

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and thophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars anagram is "liars"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous

[Chorus]

One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever ... and the rate is accelerating

NIGHT FALL

[Halford/Lachman/Chlasciak]

Your love is killing me, it draws me to the dark
Your veil of ecstacy, that leaves the telling mark
The spell you cast inside, is stabbing through my heart
It reaches deep within, it's pulling me apart

Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you're in control

Your love's still haunting me, it draws me into black
Your veil of fantasy, won't let my soul come back
The spell has taken all, I can't release my mind
I've lost my heart to you, you're too cruel to be kind.

Night Fall, you take my soul
Night Fall, you're in control
Night Fall, I called you and you came
Night Fall, I'll never be the same
