Hellblazer

by Jamie Delano, Rick Veitch, John Ridgway, Richard Piers Rayner Hellblazer is set in a contemporary world, albeit a world of magic and supernatural conflict behind the scenes. John Constantine, the main character of Hellblazer, is portrayed as a kind of confidence man and occult detective who does morally questionable things, arguably for the greater good. "Original Sins", deals with John travelling to America to exorcise a demon, Mnemoth, and investigate a strange cult known as Damnation's Army, crossing paths with a demon called Nergal (from whom he gains demon blood). "The Devil You Know" explains John's failure to save a young girl, Astra, from a demon in Newcastle, an event that left him near insane and incarcerated in an asylum known as Ravenscar.
