<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Throughout his sordid career, not much has fazed John Constantine. As long as he's had his smokes and his freedom, he's always been in control. But what happens when those things are taken away from him? In this collection, Constantine finds himself in a new kind of hell: a maximum-security penitentiary. Stripped of his trademark trench coat, his pack of Silk Cuts, and the safety net of his personal connections, he must adapt to a hard place governed by even harder men, where weakness is rewarded by death--or worse. Later, Constantine sets out to uncover the nature of the forces that have conspired against him and experiences a different kind of danger while hitchhiking"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>John Constantine knows the secrets of his native England like the back of his nicotine-stained hand. Unfortunately for him, he's now a world away from that green and pleasant land. <p/> Constantine has returned to America, and this time he's landed in the worst place imaginable: a cell in a maximum-security prison, with a 35-year sentence for murder. Adapting to his new environs will require a steep learning curve, but the world's greatest magician is nothing if not flexible. In fact, the question that his fellow inmates should be asking is not how this strange-talking newcomer will endure being locked up with society's worst offenders, but rather how they are going to survive the experience. <p/> That's because Constantine has a few more stops to make on his stateside tour, and, unlike his cellmates, his journey begins in the joint rather than ending there. But when he arrives in the rural town of Doglick, West Virginia, to make personal amends for his crime, what he finds going on behind its closed doors shocks the famously world-weary sorcerer to his hardened, cynical core. <p/> Acclaimed writer Brian Azzarello is joined by legendary artists Richard Corben, Marcelo Frusin and Steve Dillon for a terrifying expedition into the darkest corners of the Land of the Free in JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 14: GOOD INTENTIONS, collecting issues 146-161 of the signature VERTIGO series together with the nostalgic tale "The First Time" from VERTIGO SECRET FILES: HELLBLAZER.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Brian Azzarello has been writing comics professionally since the mid-1990s.
