The Hellblazer era begins in this massive collection of early stories starring DC's beloved antihero, John Constantine! Since his introduction in 1985's Swamp Thing #37, cynical occult detective/con man John Constantine stands as one of DC's most uniquely popular characters, being adapted in film, television, and animation, along with starring in some of the most celebrated stories in the comics medium. Now, fans can revisit—or experience for the first time—his earliest solo adventures in the John Constantine, Hellblazer by Jamie Delano Omnibus Vol. 1, collecting the first Hellblazer stories from writer Jamie Delano and artists including John Ridgway, Richard Piers Rayner, Stephen R. Bissette, and more. Hellblazer helped usher in DC's seminal Vertigo label, and stands as the longest-running series of that imprint—and now the earliest stories of that era are available in the omnibus format, alongside a host of extras. John Constantine, Hellblazer by Jamie Delano Omnibus Vol. 1 collects John Constantine: Hellblazer #1-22, John Constantine: Hellblazer Annual #1, Swamp Thing (Vol. 2) #65-77, and The Sandman #3, along with a brand-new foreword by famed Hellblazer author Garth Ennis, a brand-new introduction by Delano, the never-before-seen proposal for the Hellblazer series, the full script for issue #2, and many more never-before-seen wonders from the making of the series!
