Hellblazer (1988) 1 VG+ 4.5

From out of the pages of Swamp Thing comes John Constantine: man of mystery, risk-taker, thrill-seeker, master of the supernatural! After leading Swamp Thing through dark journeys in the legendary 'American Gothic' saga, this man obsessed with power and driven by inner demons sets off on his own excursions into the dark corners of the world.
