''Drago Nero'' (''Black Dragon'' in English) is an Italian fantasy comic book published by Bonelli (of ''Tex'' and ''ComicBook/DylanDog'' fame) which originally started as a one-shot graphic novel but then it became an ongoing series with issue 0 being published in May 2013.

The story is focused on [[MagicKnight Ian Aranill]], also known as Dragonero due to the dark color of the blade of his sword which it became magically after slaying a dragon. Ian is an imperial scout who is a descendant from a dynasty of dragon slayers. He usually gets hired by TheEmpire to do several quests in distant places. In his journeys he gathered a team of companions. Ian has also several [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands magical powers]] gained after accidentally [[TouchedByVorlons drinking the blood of a black dragon]].

A [[TheRolePlayingGame Tabletop RPG based on the comic]], and also published by Bonelli, was released in November 2013.

* BrotherSisterTeam: Ian and Myrva are siblings and have been entrusted with this quest by Alben.
* ClockPunk: Because of the Technocrats, there's technology here that looks like something out of Leonardo Davinci's wilder blueprints. Some examples are hybrid balloon/airplanes and automatic ballistas.
* CombatTentacles: One reason why the shadow demons are so tough in a fight, they have extendable tentacles that lets them reach out and ensnare their enemies before they can draw out a weapon.
