Hellblazer #283

A trench coat-less John Constantine perches on a washing machine — battered, shirtless, bruised, and casually lighting a cigarette beneath a "No Smoking" sign, crushed beer cans at his feet and a newspaper in hand. Simon Bisley's painted cover captures Constantine at his most stripped-down and defiant, equal parts wreckage and dark wit. Peter Milligan, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Stefano Landini kick off "The Devil's Trench Coat" with this November 2011 opener, and the title alone promises that John's most infamous garment is about to become someone else's problem.
