Ian Rankin, Dark Entries


Scottish detective writer Ian Rankin's first stab at scripting a graphic novel is a mix of horror, mystery, and literary pretense. Protagonist John Constantine has been thrown into a reality television show in order to explain some unexpected occult happenings that have inserted themselves into the program. But it turns out the paranormal activity was but a ruse to lure Constantine in to face some old foes. It's all rather a bit goofy. And the art is nothing to write home about.
