He would soon star in his own series titled "Hellblazer", which is still going strong some 250+ issues in with not a single reboot or re-start, pretty impressive when you look at DC's track record for constantly overhauling their properties. He was also the subject of a fairly underwhelming adaptation where he was turned into an American Keanu Reeves *shudder* and, apart from the name, there was really nothing tying the movie to its source material.The.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746957245529915320noreply@blogger.com
