UNHOLY TRINITY!

Titan unleashes three fantastic Constantine: Hellblazer graphic novels, just in time for the Constantine movie, starring Keanu Reeves!

TITLE : CONSTANTINE: ALL HIS ENGINES

RELEASE DATE: 21 JANUARY 2005

When a worldwide plague puts millions into comas – including the granddaughter of Chas Chandler, one of the Hellblazer’s closest friends - John Constantine steps in with the "cure." However, in scratching the surface of a seemingly personal tragedy, he finds a mad demon in a body woven out of cancer cells, and a plot to build franchised Hells in the cities of men! To rescue a single innocent child from the clutches of evil, both John and Chas will have to face temptations they never dreamed of, forging alliances with monsters every bit as terrible as the ones they're fighting…

From Mike Carey, fan-favourite writer of Lucifer, Hellblazer and Inferno, and acclaimed artist Leonardo Manco comes an epic tale of horror, friendship and the ultimate in high-stakes gambling!

The official adaptation of the upcoming Constantine movie!

Doomed by his own hand to an afterlife in Hell, John Constantine has dedicated his life to ridding the world of its demonic influence in the faint hope of redemption. Using his knowledge of the occult, his wits, and a few items of choice customized weaponry, he wages a war against the demons among us. With his time cut short by a case of terminal lung cancer, and with the help of bereaved police officer Angela Dodson, Constantine confronts the agents of darkness in an apocalyptic battle to the death!

Also featuring three pivotal issues of Hellblazer which introduce the character of John Constantine — issues #1, #27 and #42 — this is one collection you cannot afford to miss!

Constantine the movie (due to be released in March 2005) starring Keanu Reeves is based on the Hellblazer comics series published by Titan, with over 35,000 copies sold.

Advance praise for the movie: “Astonishing... Constantine’s looking pretty damned good” — Empire.

Praise for Hellblazer: “The best thing on the UK comics scene since Alan Moore.” — SFX Magazine

“Constantine’s brand of South London suss, arcane knowledge and somewhat dubious morality proved an instant hit with readers.” — Melody Maker

“John Constantine is the most human character in mainstream comics today... A journey you can’t afford to miss.” — Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman
