No one carries guilt like Constantine—and no one escapes it quite like him.
Paul Jenkins and Sean Phillips’ run on Hellblazer forged a uniquely human John Constantine—flawed, self-loathing, and fiercely clever—who navigates trauma, time, demons, dreams, and England's haunted soul. From Aboriginal gods and King Arthur’s ghosts to personal reckonings in pubs and hellscapes, Jenkins reimagines Constantine’s magic not as a tool, but as a curse—and dares him to use it anyway.
This volume collects Hellblazer #51, #85–128, #250, Vertigo: Winter’s Edge #1, and Hellblazer: Books of Magic #1–2.
Paul Jenkins is a British comic book writer best known for redefining icons across Hellblazer, Wolverine: Origin, The Inhumans, and The Sentry. His work is characterized by psychological depth and grounded supernaturalism.
Sean Phillips is an Eisner Award–winning illustrator renowned for his gritty realism and atmospheric storytelling. With a career spanning over three decades, he has brought his moody, textured linework to titles like Hellblazer, Criminal, Sleeper, and The Fade Out. His collaborations with Ed Brubaker have redefined modern noir in comics, while his work on Hellblazer remains a cornerstone of Vertigo’s legacy.
