  • Fountain of Expies: John Constantine inspired many Trenchcoat Brigade characters. This was actually enforced by DC Comics for fear of disturbing the "realism" of Hellblazer, even though Constantine (technically) inhabits the DC Universe, where a number of these Expies also reside. So, instead, various analogues and homages to John have appeared.
  • Missing Episode: "Shoot," by Warren Ellis, was also known as issue #141. But, due to the fact that it was written when school shootings were all too common and the comic implied that some kids wanted to be shot, it was shelved pretty quickly. Thankfully, it was released in late 2010. It only took eleven years! It should be noted that the cover art and a uncolored version of the comic was available well before Vertigo resurrected printed the comic.
