Included are issue #1 ("Hunger," written by Jamie Delano and illustrated by John Ridgway & Alfredo Alcala) which kicked off VERTIGO's longest-running series and set the tone for the character; #27 ("Hold Me") which brought SANDMAN creator Neil Gaiman and his longtime artistic collaborator Dave McKean to the title with a haunting story of fear and loneliness; and #41 (written by PREACHER co-creator Garth Ennis and illustrated by Will Simpson & Mark Pennington) which opens the "Dangerous Habits" storyline with Constantine discovering that he has lung cancer in "The Beginning of the End."
