John Constantine, Hellblazer - vol. 1: Original Sins

Illustrated by John Ridgway, Alfredo Alcala and Tom Mandrake. Welcome to a Fallen World... A haunted world of black magic, demons, and the ghosts of past mistakes - the world of John Constantine, Hellblazer.

As one of the few magicians who understand both the possibilities and the dangers of his art. Liverpool native John Constantine has managed to keep himself from becoming lost in its dark power - but he also cannot escape its seductive, addictive hold. Unfortunately, while Constantine may understand magic's true price, the world is full of amateurs willing to sign away their souls for a taste of it - and like it or not, his hard-won knowledge guarantees that he'll always be in the middle of the mess that follows.

"The grungy urban horror of John Constantine, as reported by Jamie Delano, is as politically sharp, as streetwise, and as enjoyable now as when it was first published. If you ever wondered where yuppies really come from, or the right way to talk to a zombie, you'd better read this book."
