![]() ![]() For a 'horror comic', it's remarkably daring in its blunt appraisal of the human condition. ![]() The dialogue is no less entertaining, mind, and the series has kept its feeling of freshness, of daring. This young(ish) version of Constantine is more vulnerable and less hard-bitten than he's written in later years. The theme of female emancipation / liberation certainly rings big bells. It's interesting, too, how much of the social commentary remains true. The artwork feels somewhat clumsy in places, but the storyline - which sees JC taking refuge with a bunch of a new-age travellers - still resonates. Second time around (first read the Hellblazer series back in the 1980s in monthly comic form), I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this collection. ![]()
