Description
The very first Hellblazer collection, Original Sins is available in a new edition that includes John Constantine's appearances in Swamp Thing. This is the first of a series of new Hellblazer editions starring Vertigo's longest running antihero, John Constantine, England's chain-smoking, low-rent magus. This first collection is a loosely connected series of tales of John's early years where Constantine was at his best and at his worst, all at the same time. Includes Swamp Thing #76-77.
