Hellblazer #300

Three hundred issues is a remarkable run, and Vertigo marks the occasion with a cover by Simon Bisley that speaks volumes without showing Constantine's face — just the worn soles of his shoes stepping away from a still-smoldering cigarette butt ground into wet pavement, the trailing coat suggesting he's already moving on. The image is quietly poetic: that discarded cigarette, titled "Ash" in a story called "Death and Cigarettes," does all the heavy lifting as a farewell symbol. Peter Milligan, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Stefano Landini bring this landmark final issue home for fans who've followed John Constantine through decades of supernatural grime and hard-won survival.
