This one is thanks to Shaun L at the google+ comic book speculation community.
While people are searching out Key Hellblazer books before the start of the Constanine Tv show they are missing out on one.
Swamp Thing #67 has a 6 page Hellblazer preview, not a picture of the book not an advert, but a full six pages of the first issue. As info is getting out, Swamp Thing #67 is starting to heat up and cheap copies are disappearing. Some copies are listed on ebay for $50 and up while there are some auctions cheaper and buy it now’s for $9.99. Amazon has them for about $7.00, Swamp Thing 67 The Wisdom of Solomon and Swamp Thing No 67 Dec 1987 “6 Pg. Special Preview of Hellblazer”. Of course, add this to the watch list of things to look for out in the wild.

I snagged 6 copies in last 2 days for about 2.00 each…looks like it paid off……….
Yeah, considering what they are starting to go for, it did. The preview is a pretty big deal considering it was published before the first issue.
Because Swamp Thing 67 only previews the first few pages of Hellblazer 1 I do not see a reason to invest heavily in this issue. One of the biggest reasons Hellblazer 1 is blowing up on Ebay is because it is the first appearance of Papa Midnite not because of John Constantine. Constantine has multiple appearances prior to the release of Hellblazer 1. The preview in Swamp Thing 67 does not show Papa Midnite because he appears in the second half of issue one of Hellblazer.
Got one today from mycomicshop for $2.40
