John Constantine: Hellblazer #63 (March 1993)

Plot summary

After decades of ducking and diving, Constantine has to face his biggest fear of all: middle age. Luckily for him, he's got some good friends to throw him a party.

Continuity

• First Appearances: Janine (off-licence owner), Header (Scottish thug; friend of Constantine's), Reverend Richard Nielsen (AKA Rick the Vic; friend of Constantine's), Mange (a man trapped in the body of a grumpy bunny; friend of Constantine's).
• Cameos: The Phantom Stranger (mysterious associate of Constantine's), Zatanna (female magician), The Swamp Thing (an Earth elemental and unwilling associate of John's). This is one of the few occasions that known DC Universe characters interacted within Hellblazer.
