Where it came from
Published in April 1991, Hellblazer #40 stands as a significant installment in the long-running Vertigo series featuring the occult detective John Constantine. This issue, titled 'The Horrorist, Part 1,' was written by Jamie Delano, who was instrumental in shaping the gritty, socially conscious tone of the character's early years. The narrative reflects the series' commitment to blending supernatural horror with the bleak sociopolitical realities of Thatcher-era Britain.
The interior artwork for this issue was provided by David Lloyd, whose sharp, atmospheric style perfectly complemented the series' moody, noir-inspired aesthetic. Lloyd, perhaps best known for his work on V for Vendetta, utilized a dark and claustrophobic visual language that grounded Constantine’s mystical encounters in a tangible, decaying urban setting. The issue was received as a pivotal moment for the character, marking the beginning of a two-part arc that further deepened the psychological complexity of Constantine’s mythos.
