Young Dylan Dog and a certain... Bearded One

Well, Italians did it again! So, young Dylan Dog met... Alan Moore (again), sort of!

Below, a page from "I due padri" ("The two fathers"), a short story contained in Dylan Dog Magazine 2020, published this March in Italy by Bonelli Comics.
In the story, a young Dylan Dog enters in a record store, named Undead Records, looking for a very rare vinyl copy of The Dark Side of the Moon. And, needless to say, the shop owner is... a strange hairy guy that we all can recognize even if his name seems to be... Alistair Roome!

"I due padri" - a real gem, full of homages to pop culture (Pink Floyd, of course, and much more) - is written by Alberto Ostini with art by the extraordinary PAOLO BACILIERI (who is one of my personal heroes in comics).

Dylan Dog, created in 1986 by Tiziano Sclavi, is one of the best selling Italian comics of all time and a national pop-icon. Wikipedia page: here.
