Hellblazer Special: Lady Constantine

(Vertigo, 2003, 2006)
™ and ©2003 DC Comics, Inc.

Easily one of the most recognizable characters of the Vertigo universe, John Constantine is a mage of the first order. He is also a ruthless and vindictive rogue, known for selling out more than one friend and outwitting more than a few demons and devils. His ancestor, Johanna Constantine, seems no less the conniver and even more of the rogue – striped of title and place in 19th Century England, the intrepid dabbler in the dark arts signs on to retrieve a mysterious box sunken in the Arctic Circle for her Majesty’s Secret Service. Playing all the angles, Johanna sets out for the Circle with her daughter and an unsavory pirate friend. Someone else appears to be along for the ride as well, a longtime friend and ally to the Constantines – an elemental spirit with a plant-like persona and “swampy” complexion (hint, hint: the original Vertigo hero, Swamp Thing.)
