Overview

Jamie Delano was hand-picked by Alan Moore to continue writing John Constantine, originally a secondary character introduced during Moore's revolutionary Swamp Thing run. John Constantine ( May 10, 1953 in Liverpool, England) is the fictional Protagonist of the comic series The Swamp Thing is a Fictional character created by Len Wein and Berni Wrightson for DC Comics and featured in a long-running horror-fantasy Delano established the character in his own right, fleshing out what had been, in Moore's hands, a more shadowy, wisecracking sort of figure. It was also Delano who set the character firmly in London, Moore (and later Veitch) preferring to present him travelling virtually anywhere at will. Delano's Constantine is very much flesh and blood, never using magic when a con will do, frequently drunk, down & out, and haunted by his accidental condemning of a little girl named Astra to Hell. Hell, according to many Religious beliefs, is a location in the Afterlife, which may be described as a place of suffering

Delano's approach owes much to the quiet, cold but vicious work of British "new wave" writers like Ramsey Campbell and J.G. Ballard and it is this tone that subsequent writers have either had to adopt or go violently against. John Ramsey Campbell (born 4 January 1946 in Liverpool) is an English Horror fiction author James Graham Ballard (born 15 November in the International Settlement in Shanghai, China) is a British Novelist and Short This also makes Delano the first Vertigo writer, as Hellblazer is often thought of as the company's flagship title. Hellblazer is a contemporary horror Comic book series published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics. He established the character's history – and his family's – going all the way back to the time of King Arthur in one of the more emblematic Constantine stories, "The Bloody Saint" (1989), drawn by Bryan Talbot. King Arthur is a legendary British leader who according to medieval histories and romances, led the defence of Britain against the Saxon invaders Bryan Talbot (born February 24, 1952, Wigan, Lancashire) is a British Comic book Artist and Writer. Much of his version of Constantine was the basis of the 2005 Constantine movie. Constantine is a 2005 American Film based on Vertigo Comics ' Hellblazer Comic book, with some

Most of his work since leaving the book to Garth Ennis and many others since (though he has gone back to the character a number of times), has also been for DC/Vertigo, both radical treatments of established characters and more pointed, political works, a list of which (from his site) can be found below. Garth Ennis (born January 16, 1970 in Holywood, Northern Ireland) is an Irish Comics writer best known for the DC DC Comics is an American comic book and related media company Vertigo is an Imprint of the American Comic-book publisher DC Comics.

Much of Delano's often bitingly witty work shares concerns with that of other British comics writers like Pat Mills, and can be characterized as science fiction, or horror, but often is a blend thereof and used very allegorically. Pat Mills, nicknamed 'the godfather of British comics' is a Comics writer and editor who along with John Wagner, revitalised British boys comics in the 1970s and Horror fiction is broadly Fiction in any medium intended to scare unsettle or horrify the audience In its concern with transformation of bodies and cultures, through psychedelia, conspiracy, or science, his work shares much with the likes of David Cronenberg and some, like Ghostdancing or Animal Man, have taken a great deal of influence from Carlos Castaneda and Jim Morrison. David Paul Cronenberg OC, FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian Film director and occasional Actor. Carlos Castaneda (December 25 1925 – April 27 1998 was a Peruvian born American author James Douglas Morrison (December 8 1943—July 3 1971 was an American Poet, Singer, Songwriter, Writer, and Film director

Frequent subjects in his work include the War of the sexes (World Without End), imperialism and genocide (Ghostdancing), and environmental & cultural collapse (2020 Visions, Animal Man). Imperialism has two meanings one describing an action and the other describing an attitude Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction in whole or in part of an ethnic racial religious or national group 2020 Visions (sometimes called 20/20 Visions) is a science-fiction Comic book written by Jamie Delano Animal Man ( Bernhard "Buddy" Baker) is a fictional DC Comics Superhero.

Most recently, it has been announced that, as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations, he will be returning to Hellblazer to write Pandemonium, a graphic novel to be drawn by Jock. A " Jock " is the pseudonym of British comics artist Mark Simpson, most known for his work with Andy Diggle in 2000 AD and on He is also has a number of series in the pipeline at Avatar Press. Avatar Press is an independent American publisher of Comic books founded in 1996 by William A [1]
