[edit] Appearances in film and television

Since this is more about the comic, I moved Constantine's other appearancees to the John Constantine entry. --Mister Six (talk) 11:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Books of Magic

Dude...why is there a link to 'The Books of Magic' here? It doesn't directly pertain to Constantine...

  • Constantine was a major character in the original miniseries and a recurring character in most of the follow-up series. --Mister Six (talk) 11:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Collections

Hey. Can someone put a list of the collections of Hellblazer titles in reading order on the site? Its quite easy to find out which titles are published but unlike most DC titles they don't have the handy numbering on the side.


1. Original Sins.

[edit] Edit 11/6/05

I added the list of trade paperbacks in chronological order, but I left the expansion request in as I am aware that there are a number of non-Hellblazer titles that John Constantine has appeared in. Besides his debut in Swamp Thing, I am unclear on what non-Hellblazer trade paperbacks should be included in the list.


I think that this article should only include Hellblazer paperbacks, but it might be a good idea to transfer the Constantine history section to a seperate article along with a more comprehensive chronology of the character.


Moving Character History section to seperate John Constantine article. - Micro506

[edit] Edit Nov. 27 05

Removed John Constantine information box, since it merely dupliactes information on the John Constantine page. --82.27.201.86 10:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Dec. 18 05

John Constantine is already on the LGBT character list, this page shouldn't be because it's a character list not a title list. So I'm removing this page from it. --Leelan 15:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Hellblazer is on every other list with John Constantine, though. Might as well be consistent. --Mister Six 01:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Writer credits

Is there any reason the writing credit changes were reversed? Even if someone thinks the full list of guest writers was too much Paul Jenkins, who wrote 40 issues deserves credit as much as anyone else, and far more than John Smith who only did one issue as a guest writer if I remember right.

[edit] Pronunciation?

Soft "i" like "tin"? Huh? And the film pronounces it like "tine"? The "tine" of a fork has a long "i", as in, well, "eye." The movie pronounces it as "teen," and in fact the books (as the excerpted panel on Straight to Hell shows) say it's pronounced with the aforementioned long "i" much like a fork's tine.

  • Corrected. --82.9.43.195 23:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Artists

Can somebody do a list of artists who have worked on the series? I'd do it myself, but have no idea who they all are.Richard75 14:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Do you mean pencillers or inkers? And just interior artists or dover artists? It'd take up a fair bit of space, but I could have a stab at it if I get the time. I just don't want it to be deleted by some bore after I finish doing it because it makes the article too big or something. Actually, it just occurred to me that one way to cut down space would be to list the artists by name rather than chronologically, so it would say Lee Bermejo (#182-183) --Mister Six 21:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Added artist info. I used "main artists" because there's not much point filling up the thing with inkers and colourists. --Mister Six 21:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red Links

What's the policy on red links? Obviously the article looks prettier without them but I thought it might make more sense to leave them in so they can automatically go to blue when the relevant articles are posted. Otherwise [Lee Bermejo] might get his article but nobody would know to link to it from here... --Mister Six 21:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Red links are OK if there is a good chance that there might actually be an article someday. --GentlemanGhost 04:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] alan moore?

Why is it that Alan Moore is mentioned in the Infobox as creator but not in the main text? Also, the Alan Moore navigation bar does not mention Hellblazer. --213.39.180.225 20:16, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Tricky. More created Constantine but hasn't written Hellblazer so would only be worth a side mention at the start of the entry but the title shouldn't be included in {{Alan Moore}}. (Emperor 17:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Chas

Seems there will be a mini-series for Chas [1] (given as Chaz but that might be a typo or I need to check my back issues ;) ) and so it'd seem worth producing an separate entry for him. Thoughts? (Emperor 17:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC))

Mini-series or not, I think Chas deserves a page. Lots42 (talk) 13:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Awkward

made an effort to ease the awkwardness of the comic-to-film transition. ---

Awkwardness seems too much of a POV word to use. But since I haven't seen the movie or read the book, I'm not diving in to change things. Maybe there's a cite that was meant to be added.

Also, I agree with the above comment: Chas needs his own article. Lots42 06:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hellblazer.jpg

Image:Hellblazer.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
