I'm familiar with Constantine, but predominantly from his appearances in the DC Animated movie. I've always really liked him when I've seen him so I figured I'd try the comics. The art style is very much of the style of the 1980s (From what I've read), but with that little bit of visceral detail that is more common in horror comics in this vein. It's also a wordier panel than I'm used to from comics, and I'm not sure if that's the nature of this story or something from the time that's showing through. It works really well for the story Hellraiser is telling, but also makes for a slower read than most comics, so keep that in mind if you're trying to get through the whole thing in one sitting.
