☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the first story arc of the 2008 John Constantine, Hellblazer: Bloodlines series, following the chain-smoking occult detective as he confronts a dark conspiracy involving his own bloodline and supernatural forces. Written by Mike Carey with art by Steve Dillon and others, the volume collects issues #1-5 of the series, which was part of the broader Hellblazer line under DC's Vertigo imprint.
In "The Pub Where I Was Born," John Constantine confronts a haunting memory tied to a past he tried to bury—his first encounter with Ellie, a woman whose love for an angel named Tali led to tragedy. As the story unfolds in the shadowed corners of Hell, the weight of lost lives and divine retribution begins to surface, with Nergal facing consequences for actions long buried. Written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Will Simpson, with inks by Mike Barreiro and Kim DeMulder, colors by Tom Ziuko, and letters by Gaspar Saladino, the issue’s stark, evocative cover by Glenn Fabry captures the grim intimacy of the tale.
