While working my way through my Hellblazer collection I had to give this one a re-read. And I think I enjoyed it even more the second time. I also realized that this is the graphic novel I've compared all other Hellblazer stories to.
After my mom and I got hooked on the TV series, I immediately went out and bought this at my local comic book store and read it in one sitting. From then on, I was a fan of John Constantine.
I love the darkness and grittiness of both the story and the artwork in this collection. I think what makes the horror so effective is that these stories don't just tackle the supernatural, but also the very real horrors of the 80s (some of which are still relevant today).
I'm so glad I re-read this.
