A very HELLBLAZER Christmas

Whoa, Mieville and Grampa? That’s a nice surprise.

I keep hoping for Hellblazer to get collected into fat hardcover “bricks.” I love the series, and pick up trades when feeling flush, but catching up on that many issues is cost-prohibitive. I’m pretty sure there are uncollected stretches in the series, to boot, which is frustrating for compulsive completists.

Regardless, hooray for this milestone issue!

This one’s a must have, for me.

HELLBLAZER reaching #250 is definitely an achievement, especially for a Vertigo title. I used to love Vertigo in the ’90s, but the only products I find myself interested in these days are this series and trade paperbacks of SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE.

I thought Eddie Campbell’s brief run on the book may be the most underrated of the entire series.

preordered and hope it arrives on time over here.

didn’t eddie campbell only do two issues? i wouldn’t call this a “run”. ;-)

The Campbell storie is like four issues, and yeah, it is great… but with Constantine almost all of it’s adventures are special. After all, like his dady, he knows the score.

So does the Milligan story lead into his run that starts in the next issue? Looks like I’ll be starting Hellblazer a month early

I’ve at least been happy to see that DC has recently started issuing collections of the early Delano work (my favorite of all the writers) as well as Ennis. Nice to finally get “Fear Machine” up on the shelf.

Eddie Campbell AND Sean Phillips, if memory serves.

Of course, HELLBLAZER was one of the first pre-Vertigo books, and had gone some twenty or thirty issues (or more) before Vertigo even started, right?

Matt – If memory serves, I think it was either issue 57 or 58 when Hellblazer first carried the Vertigo masthead in the summer of ’92?
