*DC: John Constantine, everyone’s favourite chain-smoking drunken lecher and defender of the mystic underworld, has had a lengthy career in his own title (mostly called Hellblazer, sometimes Constantine on editorial whim), but he got his start in the hugely-acclaimed Alan Moore run on Swamp Thing in the mid-1980’s. This update, we are pleased to present his first two appearances in that title – a walk-through in Swamp Thing #25, being all enigmatic about forthcoming cataclysmic events, and then the first “Full Constantine”, so to speak, in Swamp Thing #37, a year later. Issue #25 is VF+ p at £20, issue #37 FN p £25. Moore’s groundbreaking work on Swampy is well worth anyone’s perusal anyway, and the first appearances of JC add an extra layer of appeal.
