Where it came from
Hellblazer was launched in 1988 as the flagship title of DC Comics' adult-oriented Vertigo imprint, focusing on the cynical, chain-smoking occultist John Constantine. Jamie Delano, who wrote the series' inaugural arc, infused the character with a grim, politically charged atmosphere that reflected the anxieties of Thatcher-era Britain, moving the narrative away from traditional superhero tropes and toward gritty urban fantasy.
The visual identity of the series was defined by a rotating team of illustrators who favored a dark, atmospheric style to complement Delano's prose. This specific collection, published in 1990, consolidated early chapters that established the series as a pioneering work in mature, creator-driven comic storytelling. It remains critically noted for its uncompromising social commentary and its exploration of moral ambiguity, which set the template for the darker direction of contemporary dark fantasy graphic novels.
