Synopsis "Hellblazer: Rise and Fall "

If a billionaire falls out of the sky and dies...who gives a damn?!

A wealthy man plummets from the sky and is gruesomely skewered on a church spire. Bizarrely, angel wings are attached to his back. More such deaths follow until, hallelujah, it’s raining businessmen. Detective Aisha Bukhari is stumped by this strange phenomenon, until she’s visited by her childhood friend, occult investigator John Constantine, who discovers a link between the falling elite and a shocking moment in his and Aisha’s misspent youth. How are these killings tied to the first death on John’s hands? How does this involve heaven and hell? Even if this is kind of John’s fault, will Constantine be happy to let a few more rich bastards fall from the sky, like a vindictive Robin Hood?

DC Black Label presents Hellblazer: Rise and Fall—an occult mystery from the all-star team of writer Tom Taylor (DCeased) and artist Darick Robertson (The Boys)! Collects all three installments of the degenerate and debauched miniseries along with a variant cover gallery and behind-the-scenes artwork.

Darick Robertson tiene una infancia muy complicada, durante la cual no deja de leer cómics mientras su madre le repite continuamente que así no hace más que perder el tiempo.

A los 17 años publica Space Beaver, un cómic creado, escrito y dibujado por él mismo, en una editorial independiente. No tarda mucho en dar el salto a las grandes editoriales, y se introduce en el despiadado mercado de los superhéroes de la mano del tándem Giffen-DeMatteis y su corrosiva Liga de la Justicia Europa. De ellos, mejor que de nadie, aprende a saltarse las normas y a llamar la atención de crítica y público.

Más adelante, Darick consigue entrar en Marvel, sustituye a Mark Bagley como dibujante regular de The New Warriors y en muy poco tiempo encumbra este cómic de superhéroes adolescentes a la categoría de “serie de culto”.

Después de esta etapa continúa en Marvel con números sueltos, pero muy destacables, de Spider-Man y Malibú, hasta que conoce a Warren Ellis y juntos crean la corrosiva serie Transmetropolitan para el sello Vertigo de DC Comics.

A partir de entonces, ha dado rienda suelta a su incontinencia creativa en todas las editoriales que ha podido.
