Description: Hellblazer #1 CGC 9.8 NM/MT WHITE PAGES published January 1988 Key Issue: First solo series staring John Constantine from the Saga of the Swamp Thing. First appearance of Chas Chandler, Mnemoth (Hunger Demon) and Papa Midnite. Issue SynopsisFrom out of the pages of Swamp Thing comes John Constantine: man of mystery, risk-taker, thrill-seeker, master of the supernatural! After leading Swamp Thing through dark journeys in the legendary 'American Gothic' saga, this man obsessed with power and driven by inner demons sets off on his own excursions into the dark corners of the world. Constantine's knowledge of the occult is his stock in trade and his influence upon the supernatural realms makes him the only man to call when the horrors beyond our mortal realm threaten! Not that he's always successful in his missions...a man like John Constantine has many past failures that are always haunting him...literally! In this special 40-page premiere issue, Constantine must travel from the heart of London to the jungles of Africa and to a church in Greenwich Village...all in search of a deadly, insatiable spirit which consumes whatever and whoever crosses its path! Written by Jamie Delano, with art by John Ridgway, and a painted cover by Dave McKean. Suggested for Mature Readers. New Format. Cover price $1.25. DetailsPhotos are scans of the actual CGC slab being sold with the book having been graded and ecapsulated by CGC. This book is uncirculated (never before offered for sale) and was recently submitted to CGC, having come from my personal collection, the bulk of which I have been selling on eBay as raw issues (click here to see what I have left). I am now working through the higher value issues and having them professionally graded for sale on eBay. ShippingThe slab will be safely and securely shipped using SlabShipper.com's pre-formed slab shipper and placed in a USPS Priority Mail medium size box. I can place up to 3 slabs into a medium box and will combine shipping for multiple (up to 3) slab purchases. The shipment will be insured for the default $100 priority mail insurance coverage. If you would prefer to have it insured for more, please contact me within 12 hours of purchase and I will work with you on that. DisclaimerI will do my best to protect the slab by encasing it in the plastic bag that all graded books come back from CGC in as well as the highly secure SlabShipper shipping material. These plastic slabs are rarely perfect and can be occasionally scuffed when received from CGC or experience what are known as "Newton Rings" where the inner well touches the outer one resulting in a concentric ring effect where the two cling to one another. These "rings" can occur and subside at any time as the item is handled/transported and I can't be responsible for their appearance (and CGC will take no responsibility for them either). Please inspect the photos provided to see the condition of the slab as I do not offer returns or refunds.
