So, I'm drawing a story by Dave Gibbons for Hellblazer 250, over ten years since I last drew John Constantine. It's good to be back, especially with the talented Mr Gibbons. His name was all I needed to hear before agreeing to draw his story. I should have read the script first as it's a bit of a bugger... Set on New Year's Eve in the teeming crowds of London between Big Ben and Cleopatra's Needle. I took a trip to London yesterday to shoot some photo ref of the locations to find it raining after weeks of sunshine. Also, the Needle is boarded up for restoration and there are too many leaves on the trees to see much of the surrounding buildings. Still, it was only seven hours on a train, hope you appreciate it, Dave. You might owe me a pint for this...
