Hellblazer #113

John Constantine stands in his rumpled tan trenchcoat, cigarette in hand, coolly holding up a severed human head — and the unsettled expression on his face suggests even he finds this moment hard to brush off. It's a striking, painterly cover from Sean Phillips that captures the grim, morally weathered world Hellblazer does so well. Part four of the five-part "Last Man Standing" arc by Paul Jenkins and Sean Phillips, this May 1997 Vertigo issue keeps the tension wound tight heading into the finale.
