==Analogues==
* The character of Jack Carter in [[Warren Ellis]] and [[John Cassaday]]'s comic book series ''[[Planetary (comics)|Planetary]]'' is an analogue of John Constantine;<ref name="Planetary">{{Cite web| last = man| first = rkk| title = Planetary Issue 7: To Be in England, in the Summertime| date = June 13, 2005| url = http://home.earthlink.net/~rkkman/frames/summaries/S7.htm| access-date = December 24, 2008| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090429053844/http://home.earthlink.net/~rkkman/frames/summaries/S7.htm| archive-date = April 29, 2009| url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | last=Rothschild | first=D.

* [[Grant Morrison]] originally wanted Constantine to become a supporting character in their ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' series, but DC's editorial policy at the time prevented Constantine from making extended appearances in [[superhero]] comics, for fear of spoiling the realism of ''Hellblazer''. As a result, Morrison created the magus [[Willoughby Kipling]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://reconstruction.eserver.org/032/mottazzi.htm#17|title=Innovating Superheroes|website=Reconstruction.eserver.org|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011172756/http://reconstruction.eserver.org/032/mottazzi.htm#17|archive-date=October 11, 2007|df=mdy-all}}</ref> It was revealed in ''Hellblazer'' #51 that they and Constantine have met, and they had a brief voice-over cameo in [[Warren Ellis]]' ''[[JLA: Classified]]'' story "New Maps of Hell".
* Ambrose Bierce is the name of a character intended to be John Constantine in [[Phil Foglio]]'s ''[[Stanley and His Monster]]'' limited series, but changed at the last minute due to editorial policy. Gregori Eilovotich Rasputin played a similar role for [[Firestorm (character)|Firestorm]] and [[Captain Atom]] as Constantine did for the Swamp Thing, while Hellblazer was a [[Jack Kirby]]-style reinterpretation of the character who appeared in ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' #53 and ''[[The Books of Magic]] Annual'' #3.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.qusoor.com/hellblazer/bastard.htm |title=A Bastard By Any Other Name |publisher=Qusoor.com |access-date=November 7, 2012}}</ref>
* According to actor [[Misha Collins]], the wardrobe of the character [[Castiel (Supernatural)|Castiel]] on the TV show ''[[Supernatural (U.S. TV series)|Supernatural]]'' is based on that of John Constantine.<ref name=eclipsemagazine>{{cite web
