Hellblazer #77

Dark tendrils of supernatural corruption coil around a wide-eyed, terrified John Constantine on John Totleben's painted-style cover for Hellblazer #77 — a glowing, ethereal figure visible in the smoky distance behind him adds an unsettling contrast of light and dread. Writer Garth Ennis and artist Peter Snejbjerg bring their signature intensity to "And The Crowd Goes Wild," a story title that hints at chaos Constantine is clearly struggling to keep at arm's length. This 1994 Vertigo entry is a fine reminder of why the series earned its mature-readers label.
