Since DC revamped its universe under the New 52 concept starting with FLASHPOINT, altering Constantine's history in the process, stories published after that miniseries do not appear below. Television shows, films, and video games are likewise ignored, as they comprise separate branches of the mythos. The comics adaptation and novelization of the 2005 Constantine film are referenced, however, since John Shirley's novel War Lord sets them within HELLBLAZER continuity, albeit in a different reality.
Placements are derived from dates and other internal evidence within the comics. In SWAMP THING, HELLBLAZER and THE BOOKS OF MAGIC, characters tend to age in real time, making it easy to determine when events occur and how old characters are at any given moment. For events without specified time settings, a span of time is offered ("Between 1978 and 1980" or "Before 2012," for example), indicating when those events could feasibly occur. This chronology corrects a few inconsistencies that have cropped up in prior (otherwise excellent) timelines, with explanatory notes whenever necessary. Codes provided throughout indicate the sources, as the list below:
John Constantine is not a typical protagonist. He's just as likely to blackmail, con, rob, or hurt someone as he is to save the world; his associates include gangsters, killers, drug dealers, demons, lunatics, and perverts; and he has received incarceration for a disturbing range of crimes. Given his occult obsession, substance abuse, serial womanizing, and near lack of ethics, not to mention his having murdered several people, it seems far-fetched to label him a hero, even when he does the right thing. When it comes to the Laughing Magician, the term "antihero" has rarely been more appropriate.
