Hellblazer #1
Dave McKean's painted cover for this January 1988 launch sets an unmistakable tone: a gaunt, unsettling face — Constantine himself — emerges from a collage of handwritten letters, insect illustrations, and crawling beetles, with a large feather quill cutting across the composition. Promising "40 Pages of Sheer Terror" and arriving from "the Macabre World of Swamp Thing," this is Jamie Delano and John Ridgway's mature-readers series finding its footing with real atmospheric ambition. If you've ever wanted to follow a streetwise occultist into genuinely dark territory, Hellblazer #1 makes a compelling case right from its cover.
