Sting to Write Foreword to CONSTANTINE HELLBLAZER: 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

The CONSTANTINE HELLBLAZER: 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION commemorative collection is just around the corner, and lots of tidbits revolving around it are sure to come up in the following months.

On Monday, DC Vertigo released an official trailer, together with an announcement that icon Sting is going to write the foreword to the CONSTANTINE HELLBLAZER: 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION commemorative collection.

In the short video, Sting very much looks like Constantine himself. The musician starts off by introducing himself – just in case we get confused about who’s who – and then proceeds to tell us that he and John have a long history, thus his writing the foreword to the collection.

In the press release, DC states that “Sting’s foreword will take on the perspective of the Golden Boy, Constantine’s alternate-universe twin, touching on his relationship with the occult detective over the years.”

The CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER: 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION commemorative collection will be composed of four one-page essays delving deep into the history of Constantine. These essays are written by renowned HELLBLAZER author Rich Handley.

Additionally, the commemorative collection will include “a comprehensive timeline of Constantine’s life and three one-page stories featured in JOHN CONSTANTINE: HELLBLAZER issues #1, 2 and 4. Memorable stories from Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis, Brian Azzarello, Paul Jenkins, Jamie Delano and others reflect the best of the long-lasting series, including HELLBLAZER issues #11, 27, 41, 63, 120, 146, 229 and 240 and SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #37, where the character was officially introduced.“
