Hellblazer #146-150: Hard Time Parts 1-5 (of 5) 1988 DC Comicsby by Brian Azzarello (Author), Richard Corben (Illustrator), Painted Covers by Tim Bradstreet Issue #146: In stores January 26. In his first-ever series work, legendary horror artist Richard Corben (Den) joins new HELLBLAZER writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JONNY DOUBLE) and cover artist Tim Bradstreet for "Hard Time," a 5-part story that finds John Constantine in a new kind of hell: a maximum-security penitentiary. Throughout his sordid career, not much has scared 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? The unexpected answers begin to play out in HELLBLAZER #146. Stripped of his trademark trench coat, his pack of Silk Cuts, and the safety net of his personal connections, Constantine must adapt to an environment unlike any other he's experienced ? a hard place governed by even harder men, where weakness is rewarded by death...or worse. For Constantine, always used to being the baddest of the bad, survival will require learning a whole new set of rules as he navigates a treacherous maze of ruthless gangs, brutal guards and, eventually, the prison's formidable overlord. And once his education is complete, then Constantine can begin to teach others the rules of his game. And that's when things start to get really interesting... Issue #147: Part 2 of "Hard Time," the first storyline by new writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS) with art by horror legend Richard Corben. Word is spreading about the new guy and his run-ins with the stone-cold crews that populate the maximum-security prison. Seems everyone's learning the hard way that there's much more to "England" than meets the eye. Everyone, that is, other than Stark, a cold- blooded lifer and boss of the nastiest gang in the cellblock. Over a hand of poker John Constantine finds that the ante may be his life. Issue #148: Part 3 of "Hard Time," the first storyline by new writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS) with art by horror legend Richard Corben. Cold-blooded lifer Stark is the nastiest boss in the cellblock. When compelling evidence points to a snitch on the block ? perhaps someone in Stark's own inner circle ? prison life is about to take a turn for the worst. And while John Constantine undertakes his own search for the culprit, he uncovers a scheme more devious than even he could imagine. Issue #149: Solitary confinement is anything but lonely for John Constantine in Part 4 of "Hard Time." While stewing in "the hole," Constantine is visited by the ghosts of his past. And if old friends aren't enough to push John over the edge, he's also trapped without his favorite companions: his trusty pack of smokes. While John is gripped in the throes of a violent nicotine fit, the rest of the prison's general population begins to feel his pain...with terrible results. Issue #150: VERTIGO's longest running series reaches a historic issue with the conclusion of "Hard Time." Chaos ensues as the inmates take over the prison, with John Constantine reigning as King. When an FBI agent enters the fray, will he have what it takes to take "England" down for good?
