Setting and protagonist

Hellblazer is set in a contemporary world, albeit a world of magic and supernatural conflict behind the scenes. Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is a Conceptual system that asserts human ability to control the natural world (including events objects people and Although issue 14 made a passing reference to superheroes, the series has since developed its own pocket universe in which the supernatural or paranormal does not play a large role in the lives of most ordinary people, suggesting that superheroes no longer exist there. The term supernatural or supranatural ( Latin: super, supra "above" + natura "nature" pertains to entities events Paranormal is an Umbrella term used to describe unusual Phenomena or experiences that lack an obvious Scientific explanation However, some DC Comics characters—most notably the fringe supernatural characters such as Zatanna, The Phantom Stranger and Swamp Thing have made appearances.

Hellblazer's main character is portrayed as a kind of confidence man, doing morally questionable things, sometimes for the greater good. A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, scam, scheme Constantine usually triumphs in his conflicts through guile, deceit and misdirection, but often makes more enemies in the process than he defeats. John Constantine ( May 10, 1953 in Liverpool, England) is the fictional Protagonist of the comic series Indeed, it is a common theme in the book that Constantine is unable to effect any lasting change or enjoy unequivocal victories. While sometimes striving for the good of mankind, Constantine is often manipulative and a dangerous person to have as a friend, as the lives and souls of those around him become perilously involved in his misadventures. He takes pains to protect himself from direct attacks, but his friends and relatives are often endangered in order to strike at him. The spirits of deceased friends haunt him, individually or as an entourage of ghosts. A ghost is said to be the apparition of a Deceased person frequently similar in appearance to that person and usually encountered in places she or he frequented

Constantine has made appearances in other comic book titles, such as The Sandman, Lucifer and Shade, the Changing Man.
