Hellblazer #30

This June 1990 issue of Hellblazer — titled "Fatality" — opens with a cover by Kent Williams that stops you cold: a trenchcoated figure, gun in hand, stands over a fallen body while childlike chalk drawings of stick figures scatter across the ground below, lending the scene an unsettling contrast between innocence and violence. Jamie Delano's writing is backed here by the interior art team of Ron Tiner and Mark Buckingham, promising the kind of morally tangled storytelling that defined this mature-readers series. It's a haunting snapshot of John Constantine's world, where even the most human moments carry a dark and heavy weight.
