Likely the origin story of the Constantine bloodline and their penchant for magic, this graphic novel collects the story of Lady Johanna Constantine's quests for Pandora's Box in service to the British Government. In many ways it is all the Constantine stories wrapped in one; we see her outwit demons, lose a child (who she then must rescue), keep her own agenda even when in service to higher powers, bluff her way into and out of trouble, and ally herself with Jack-in-the-Green aka the Swamp Thing. Thrown into the modern world I'm sure that Lady Johanna would be as much of a powerhouse as her descendent John, and maybe even more so since she seems to have slightly more pure motives. ( )
