“A Drop of the Hard Stuff (Dangerous Habits, Part Two)”

Part two of Garth Ennis's "Dangerous Habits" arc arrives with a haunting image by cover artist Tom Canty: a massive, shadowy face looms over a brooding coastal landscape, its green-tinged eyes and stark contrasts dominating the blood-red sky above a solitary stone tower perched on rocky shoreline. The juxtaposition of that weathered, ancient structure against the ominous specter overhead sets a mood that's equal parts folklore and dread — very much in the spirit of John Constantine's world. With Will Simpson and Mark Pennington handling interior art and Ennis at the helm, Hellblazer #42 from June 1991 is a compelling chapter in one of DC's most atmospheric mature-readers series.
