If the idea of a holiday issue of Hellblazer strikes you as<!--more--> irreverent and a little perverse, well, that\u2019s exactly why it works so well. Here, the holiday season of everyone\u2019s favorite chain smoking, magical con-man, John Constantine, is disrupted by the darkest depths of humanity and the supernatural. HELLBLAZER #250 (Vertigo\/ December 17, 2008 \/ color \/ 48 pgs \/ $3.99) is a celebration of a classic series for longtime readers\u2014and a great entry point for new readers.<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS:<\/p>\n<p>Dave Gibbons is best-known for the iconic look of the best-selling Watchmen\u2014 one of Time Magazine\u2019s 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.
