🕵️ Dylan Dog, a new collector's story: "The End of the World" arrives in two parts
Two issues, an unpublished story and an unmissable event for collectors of the Nightmare Investigator
For fans of Dylan Dog, 2026 brings one of those releases that deserves a special place in any collection.
The Nightmare Investigator arrives on the pages of La fine del mondo, the comic magazine included with il manifesto, with a long, completely unpublished story, released in two parts across issues 7 and 8.
Therefore, it’s not just a simple special issue of Dylan Dog.
It’s a unique collaboration between Sergio Bonelli Editore and La fine del mondo, bringing Tiziano Sclavi's character into this original anthology magazine for the first time.
📖 The story is divided into two parts
Here lies one of the most interesting aspects for collectors.
The story is not contained in a single issue but has been divided into two episodes:
- 🕯️ La fine del mondo n. 7 – first part, released on July 29, 2026
- 🕯️ La fine del mondo n. 8 – second and concluding part, released on August 26, 2026.
To read the complete adventure and preserve it entirely, therefore, you need to acquire both issues.
And this is precisely what makes the 7+8 set particularly interesting for Dylan Dog collectors.
🖤 A Dylan Dog different from usual
The uniqueness is not just the unpublished story.
Dylan Dog enters an editorial context completely different from that of his usual Bonelli publications.
La fine del mondo is an anthology magazine conceived and curated by Maicol & Mirco, which brings together different authors and styles of contemporary comics.
Alongside Dylan Dog, we find names like Zerocalcare, Shintaro Kago, Zuzu, Altan, Manuele Fior, Martina Sarritzu, Alice Socal, Vitt Moretta, Juta, Blu, and Dottor Pira.
A true meeting of different comic book worlds.
✏️ A story by Alessandro Baggi
The new adventure is penned by Alessandro Baggi, an author who brings his own distinctive style to the universe of the Nightmare Investigator.
The first part, published in issue 7, spans a full 16 pages, giving Dylan Dog a particularly prominent space within the magazine.
And of course, the mystery remains open until the second episode.
Those who only purchased issue 7 must therefore wait for issue 8 to find out the conclusion.
🕯️ Why is it a collector's item?
Because it brings together several elements that immediately pique collectors' interest:
an unpublished story + Dylan Dog + a special editorial collaboration + two consecutive issues + a story that must be read in two parts.
The complete set thus becomes much more interesting than the single issue.
These are two magazines that together form a single adventure.
And for those who love to preserve unique publications related to Dylan Dog's 40 years, it's definitely a release to keep an eye on.
🔥 A future cult classic?
It's still too early to say.
But some publications have characteristics that make them particularly interesting over time, especially when they chronicle a special moment in a character's history.
And this one has several:
- 🕵️♂️ Dylan Dog
- 📖 completely unpublished story
- 📚 two episodes
- 📰 published in a non-Bonelli magazine
- 🤝 first collaboration between Sergio Bonelli Editore and La fine del mondo
- 🎂 during the celebrations for Dylan Dog's 40th anniversary
- 🔐 complete set consisting of two issues
For this reason, for collectors of Dylan Dog and newsstand rarities, the set La fine del mondo n. 7 + n. 8 is definitely a publication not to be missed.
🖤 Two issues. One story. A new piece of Dylan Dog's history.
There are comics you read.
And then there are publications that, in addition to being read, are kept.
La fine del mondo n. 7 and n. 8 belong precisely to this second category.
An unpublished story, two issues, and Dylan Dog as the protagonist of a truly special editorial encounter.
For fans of the Nightmare Investigator, the advice is simple:
if you want the complete story, you need both issues. 🕵️♂️🖤
👉 The complete set La fine del mondo n. 7 + n. 8 with the unpublished Dylan Dog story is available on Edicola Online.
