☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together issues #1-5 of the 2001 'Hellblazer: Hard Time' miniseries, written by Brian Azzarello with art by Richard Corben. The story finds John Constantine imprisoned in a maximum-security penitentiary, where his supernatural talents are tested by the brutal realities of prison life and a dark conspiracy among the inmates. This arc marks a gritty, grounded departure for the character, emphasizing survival and moral compromise over traditional magic.
In "Hard Time," John confronts the weight of his past as he strikes a dangerous bargain with Agent Turro to investigate the mysterious S.W. Manor in exchange for freedom. With the shadows of his own guilt and a painful memory of Lucky’s suicide lingering, John steps into a world where the line between truth and punishment blurs. Written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated with stark intensity by Richard Corben, the issue’s haunting visuals are matched by Tim Bradstreet’s gripping cover.
