One of the greatest single issues from DC Comics is getting a brand-new reprint, allowing readers to see John Constantine's first appearance in the pages of Saga of the Swamp Thing.
In Alan Moore and Rich Veitch’s iconic Saga of the Swamp Thing run, issue 37 featured the debut of John Constantine, a cigarette-smoking magic-user and occult detective who immediately captured the attention of comic book fans. The character’s look was based on the singer Sting, and despite maybe not having an initial intention to make Constantine a long-running DC hero, he still appears in significant roles in the pages of DC Comics to this day.
Now is the chance to get and read John Constantine’s first appearance in Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 Facsimile Edition with the original iconic cover by Stephen R. Bissette, John Totleben, and Tatjana Wood. Additionally, there will be a blank variant available for the issue. Check out the text solicit and cover below!
