Hellblazer
''Hellblazer'' (also known as ''John Constantine, Hellblazer'') is a contemporary horror comic book series, originally published by DC Comics, and subsequently by the Vertigo imprint since March 1993, when the imprint was introduced. Its central character is the streetwise magician John Constantine, who was created by Alan Moore and Stephen R. Bissette, and first appeared as a supporting character in ''The Saga of the Swamp Thing'' #37 (June 1985), during that creative team's run on that title. ''Hellblazer'' had been published continuously since January 1988, and was Vertigo's longest running title, the only remaining publication from the imprint's launch. In 2013, the series concluded with issue 300, and has been replaced by a DC Universe title, ''Constantine''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DC Cancels "Hellblazer" ) November 8, 2012〕 Well-known for its political and social commentary, the series has spawned a film adaptation, television show, novels, multiple spin-offs and crossovers.
The series was the longest-running and one of the most successful titles of DC's Vertigo imprint, and was the stepping stone to many British writers. Notable writers who have contributed to the series include Jamie Delano, Garth Ennis, Paul Jenkins, Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey, Andy Diggle, and Peter Milligan. ''Hellblazer'' was one of the first modern occult detective fiction works and heavily influenced the genre to come.
==Production history==
After favorable reader reaction to John Constantine's appearances in the comic book series ''Swamp Thing'', where he had been introduced by Alan Moore during his authorship of the title, the character was given his own comic book series in 1988. The series was intended to bear the title ''Hellraiser'', but this title was revised before publication due to the contemporaneous release of Clive Barker's unrelated film of the same name. Initial writer Jamie Delano was, in his own words, "fairly ambivalent" about the change of title.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Comic Book Legends Revealed #390 )〕
The initial creative team was writer Jamie Delano and artist John Ridgway, with Dave McKean supplying distinctive painted and collage covers. Delano introduced a political aspect to the character, about which he stated: "...generally I was interested in commenting on 1980s Britain. That was where I was living, it was shit, and I wanted to tell everybody."〔 The book, originally published as a regular DC Comics title, became a Vertigo title with the imprint's launch in March 1993 (issue #63 of the series). In October 2011, it was announced that this would join DC titles in being published digitally on the same day as its physical release, starting in January 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=vertigo to publish several comic book series same day digital. )〕
