Part of Series
John Constantine is an unconcerned, somewhat amoral occultist with a British working-class background. He's a hero of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery and genuine magical skill. This latest volume finds the hard-drinking master of bad-luck magic suffering alone in the aftermath of the near-apocalypse he unwittingly caused, with no memory of his identity or history. However, he still has his usual luck, and soon enough he's being hunted by man and demon alike – and about to make the worst mistake of his long, blood-soaked life. Collecting HELLBLAZER #194-200
