Hellblazer #276

Peter Milligan and Simon Bisley bring their gritty vision of John Constantine to this April 2011 issue of Hellblazer, with Bisley's cover painting every hard-won detail: a battered, blood-spattered Constantine stares out with cold blue eyes, cigarette dangling from his lips and a lighter flicked open in his bandaged hand, as sinister green smoke curls behind him. The raw, unflinching portrait captures exactly the kind of weary, dangerous charm that makes Constantine so compelling — the man looks like he's already survived something terrible and is absolutely ready for whatever comes next.
