Dylan+Dog+-+main+characters

Dylan lives in London at 7 Craven Road, (he occasionally travels elsewhere) in a cluttered apartment with a doorbell that screams. His clothes are one of his defining characteristics: he always dresses the same way, in a red shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans. His hobbies include playing the clarinet and constructing model ship; he has many phobias, including claustrophobia, bats and heights. Dylan is also particularly susceptible to motion sickness, which is one of the reasons why he rarely travels. Once an alcoholic, he now almost never drinks. He is a vegetarian. He's also a hopeless romantic who loves and loses a new woman in nearly every issue.
 * Dylan Dog:** he is an investigator. Dylan’s clients are all victims of supernatural events, they are persons whom the police wouldn’t believe, so their last chance is the only nightmare investigator in the world, Dylan Dog indeed. The fear fascinates him, he doesn’t refuse the unknown, on the contrary, he tries to comprehend it. But you shouldn’t imagine him as an invincible hero, because he can’t always solve all the cases and chase away the nightmare. He’s just a man: ironic, troublesome, strong and frail at the same time.


 * Groucho:** he lives and works with Dylan Dog as his professional right-hand man. He enjoys puns and women, though he doesn’t share his friend’s luck with ladies. Groucho is goofy, and his eccentric personality helps temper Dylan’s moodiness. He also reminds his boss when their finances are in dire straits (almost always), and sometimes blows in with a pistol just in time to help Dylan. Also, he’s really funny, and at some point in every issue Groucho makes one or two jokes that annoy Dylan and the person listening to the joke.


 * Inspector Bloch:** Dylan's superior when he worked at Scotland Yard, remained his friend and father figure even after our protagonist quit the force. Bloch and Dylan often help out in each other's cases. Bloch is more rational and grounded than Dylan and often disregards supernatural explanations. He is an old but competent officer who dreams of retirement.
