History
John Constantine is a gritty supernatural detective. Originally a member of the mainstream DC Universe introduced as a supporting character to Swamp Thing, his stories were later moved to the Vertigo Universe. This version of Constantine continued to age real-time in his own Hellblazer stories, while the mainstream version did not reappear until Brightest Day. They both exist independently of each other.
John Constantine was an occult investigator in England. He had heard tell of a coming dark entity, and he used many of his contacts to determine what that thing was and how it would appear. Eventually, he was led to the Louisiana swamp, where he met the Swamp Thing. read more
