He's a hero, of sorts, who manages to come out on top through a combination of luck, trickery, and genuine magical skill.In this latest volume in the graphic novel series, Peter Milligan (BATMAN, HUMAN TARGET, X-Statix), one of Vertigo's most popular and prolific scribes writes the adventures of Constantine for the first time. John digs his fingers deep into his bumpy past and discovers that old wounds and new loves are both best left untouched. 12 years ago in Liverpool, there was a bloody dockers' strike. Things fell apart when a union leader caved-in to the bosses. Today, John Constantine has a new girlfriend and an extraordinary, horrible new skin A weeping, dark, knobby scab covers part of his body. And it's growing. What's thebizarre link between this skin fungus and a largely forgotten chapter of British Trade Union history?
