John Constantine, Hellblazer #6

In "The Pub Where I Was Born," John Constantine confronts a haunting memory tied to a past he’s tried to bury—his first encounter with Ellie, a woman whose love for an angel named Tali led to tragedy. As the weight of that lost life resurfaces, John finds himself drawn into a reckoning in Hell, where even the ancient Nergal is not beyond punishment. Written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Will Simpson, with inks by Mike Barreiro and Kim DeMulder, colors by Tom Ziuko, and letters by Gaspar Saladino, the issue’s haunting tone is matched by Rafael Albuquerque’s evocative cover.
