John Constantine Hellblazer: Tainted Love

In the late 1990s, DC's Vertigo imprint delivered this single-issue Hellblazer special, a standalone story from the acclaimed team of writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon. It captures the gritty, blackly comic tone of their celebrated run on the main series, offering a focused, character-driven tale of the chain-smoking magus navigating his own bleak romantic entanglements. A potent snapshot of the era's definitive Hellblazer creative partnership, it's a memorable, self-contained chapter in John Constantine's long, dark journey.
