He is currently practicing for retirement, living in semi-rural England with his partner, Sue.January 1988 – February 2013 November 2019 – October 2020 That same rough path has also sharpened his mind, and taught him a thing or two about ruthlessness.Ĭollecting the beginning of the signature Vertigo series together with the Constantine tie-in story from SWAMP THING, this expanded edition of ORIGINAL SINS kicks off one of the most remarkable sagas of horror and dark fantasy in all of graphic literature.Ībout the Author: Born in 1954, Jamie Delano has made a diverse, cross-genre contribution to the comic book medium, scripting-over some 25 years-both original works (World Without End, TAINTED, GHOSTDANCING, Hell Eternal, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL, Territory, OUTLAW NATION) and publisher-owned properties ( Captain Britain, Dr Who, Night Raven, HELLBLAZER, ANIMAL MAN, BATMAN, Shadowman). With his sharp tongue and unequalled shrewdness, the sorcerer from Liverpool has managed to raise himself to a position as rarified as it is dangerous: being the magician of last resort for a world under constant siege from the forces of chaos and evil. Constantine is a hero, of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery, and genuine magical skill. Welcome to the haunted world of black magic, demons, and the ghosts of past mistakes-the world of John Constantine, Hellblazer. The first volume of Vertigo's longest running series that stars England's chain-smoking, low-rent magus.

“The grungy horror of John Constantine, as reported by Jamie Delano, is as politically smart, as streetwise, and as enjoyable now as when it was first published.
