One of Vertigo's longest running titles. The movie adaptation in 2005 was titled "Constantine" and starred Keanu Reaves.
Hellblazer is set in a contemporary world of magic and supernatural conflict. The series has developed its own universe in which no superhero interventions are shown or hinted at, suggesting that superheroes no longer exist there. John Constantine, the main character, is portrayed as a kind of confidence man who does morally questionable things, arguably for the greater good. He usually triumphs through guile, deceit, and misdirection, but often makes more enemies in the process than he defeats. Indeed, it is a common theme in the book that Constantine is unable to effect any lasting change or enjoy unequivocal victories.
