After summoning a demon, the budding sorcerer John Constantine condemns an innocent child to hell and winds up in an insane asylum, in a volume that also includes his mission of tracking down a spectral woman who embodies the world's suffering.
From Booklist
These previously uncollected stories by Hellblazer's first writer, from early in the comic's run, include the pivotal "Newcastle incident" flashback, in which cocksure but callow young John Constantine essays summoning a demon, with disastrous results for the budding sorcerer and his friends, for an innocent child is condemned to hell, and Constantine winds up in an insane asylum. The volume also includes the two-issue miniseries The Horrorist, in which Constantine tracks down a spectral woman who embodies the world's suffering and deals it out to individuals unlucky enough to cross her path; subtly moody painted art by David Lloyd (V for Vendetta, 1990) enhances the chilly atmosphere.
