Abstract:

In the XXth century Notes from Underground by F.M. Dostoevsky were translated several times into Italian and have had a significant influence on Italian literature, including such genres of mass literature as detective stories and horror. The article analyzes how Dostoevsky’s short novel influences the authors of the popular comic strip about Dylan Dog (the detective who investigates the paranormal) thematically and linguistically.

Keywords: Notes from Underground, F.M. Dostoevsky, Underground Man, literary reception, Italian literature, comic strips, Dylan Dog.
