Hellblazer

Hellblazer is a comic book series published by DC Comics, primarily under its Vertigo imprint. The series follows the adventures of John Constantine, a working-class magician, occult detective, and con man from Liverpool. He is depicted as cynical, morally ambiguous, and often struggling with the consequences of his supernatural dealings. Constantine possesses a natural talent for magic and a connection to the supernatural world, which he frequently uses to battle demons, ghosts, and other dark forces.

The character of John Constantine first appeared in the pages of Swamp Thing in 1985, created by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben. His popularity led to his own ongoing series, Hellblazer, which debuted in 1988. The series is known for its mature themes, dark and gritty atmosphere, and complex storytelling. It often explores the intersection of the mundane and the supernatural, as well as the darker aspects of human nature.

Over its long publication history, Hellblazer has seen numerous acclaimed writers and artists contribute to its pages, each bringing their unique vision to the character and his world. The series has influenced other supernatural comics and has been adapted into a film and a television series. Despite his often self-serving motivations, Constantine frequently finds himself protecting humanity from forces beyond its comprehension, making him a reluctant but effective hero in the DC Universe's supernatural landscape.
