The early solo adventures of DC's favorite occult detective are getting collected into one gigantic Hellblazer graphic novel

DC's John Constantine Returns With A New Hellblazer Omnibus Collection

This particular run was written by Jamie Delano, who helped establish Constantine and his world through dozens of comic book issues, creating a complex and captivating character. There are some terrific tales here, like The Fear Machine and The Family Man, and the art from John Ridgway, Richard Piers Rayner, Stephen R. Bissette, and other illustrators helped define a dark style of storytelling that became a trademark of Hellblazer comics. Here's the full list of what you're getting inside of this compendium:

  • Hellblazer #1-22
  • John Constantine: Hellblazer Annual #1
  • Swamp Thing (Vol. 2) #65-77
  • The Sandman #3

Additionally, there's a brand-new foreword by Garth Ennis--another famous Hellblazer writer--a brand-new introduction by Delano, the never-before-seen proposal for the Hellblazer series, the full script for issue #2, and more content around the production of the series that has never been seen before.
