With the launch of DC's New 52 and Marvel's reboot of Uncanny X-Men, Hellblazer now holds the crown as the longest ongoing continuing monthly series without renumbering or cancellations/rebirths from either of "the Big Two".
Perhaps best known as being Vertigo's longest-running comic book series because of the fact that it began before Vertigo was a publisher, five years before in fact and that it's still ongoing and Hellblazer is also the only Vertigo Launch Title still in print. Apart from that, it is also known as the tale of John Constantine, one of Vertigo's most renowned characters. John Constantine being a character famed from his interactions with The Swamp Thing during Alan Moore's historic run on the series.
Unlike most Vertigo volumes, due to its extreme length, this one has had various writers (many of whom are better known for other Vertigo contributions), and oftentimes the series is judged within these writer's runs rather then as a whole since the series has changed through the decades.
