This new Hellblazer collection features several tales never before

collected, including a look at John Constantine's rough and tumble childhood and

the beginnings of his unique skills. Then, in some of the earliest stories

from Preacher scribe Garth Ennis, John Constantine is dying. As a

sorcerer literally haunted by the demons of his past, John is no stranger to

mystic bedevilment or supernatural horror. But it's his chain-smoking that

ultimately brings death to Constantine's front door. John Constantine has lung

cancer. Though condemned to hell, Constantine continues to laugh in the face of

this all-too-serious world.
