Celebrate 30 years of one of DC Vertigo's most enduring and controversial characters in Hellblazer: A Celebration of 30 Years, an anthology graphic novel featuring his best tales to date! Plus, a forward written by worldwide musical icon, Sting! When all the chips are down and everything's on the line, what would you do to ensure you come out on top? What would you be willing to sacrifice? For occult detective John Constantine, the only thing more difficult than answering that question almost every single day is living with his decision. Whether it's due to a sense of self-loathing, a resistance to any sort of authority or a deeply hidden desire to do what's right, Constantine is willing to make the hard choices...so that no one else has to. All of these facets of John Constantine's character have made him one of the most popular in graphic literature since 1988.

Book Description
Of all the members of the X-Men, none has been more popular than Wolverine -- yet the origins of this mutant hero had always been tightly shrouded in mystery. Aside from a few hazy tidbits, Wolverine's past has always been little more than a blank slate. In WEAPON X, acclaimed writer/illustrator Barry Windsor-Smith peels back this veil of secrecy to reveal how Wolverine's skeleton became laced with an indestructible adamantium metal. Kidnapped and drugged, Wolverine is subjected to a series of sadistic medical experiments designed to create the perfect soldier. As he battles back against this tortuous experience, Wolverine proves himself to be a true hero long before his days as an X-Man.--Amazon.com.
