Bizancio is an Argentinian Comic, starring Marcos Bizancio, an unconcealed John Constantine Hellblazer expy.
Besides "Bizancio: Punta Baja", as far the only title him as protagonist, he has appeared in several stories of Antologia De Heroes Argentinos (Volumes 2, 3 & 4), even suggesting an imminent Crisis Crossover between the aformented Argentinian Heroes (expected to happen in the not yet released: Antología de Héroes Argentinos, Vol. 5).
The original work was scripted by Mauro Mantella and featuring art by Sergio Monjes. In his "Antología" stories, other artists have drawn him as well.
