Preacher debuted in 1995 when DC's two-year-old Vertigo imprint was at the height of its power. The book made a huge splash right from the beginning, with the former creative team of Hellblazer, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, telling the tale of Jesse Custer. A preacher with a faith problem, Jesse accidentally killed his entire congregation when the half-angel, half-demon entity Genesis possessed him. Given the power to control anyone with his voice, Custer learns that God has left Heaven and teams up with his girlfriend Tulip O'Hare and Irish vampire Proinsias Cassidy to find him.
