"Freezes Over" is a four-issue Hellblazer story arc written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by artist Marcelo Frusin published by DC Comics under its Vertigo imprint.

The story tells of John Constantine, an infamous English occult detective and con man, during one of his travels in the backbone of the United States.

Taking place in the snowy backwoods of the American country, a powerful snow storm has hit the local area, making the highways and roads completely inaccessible due to heavy snowfall and blizzard.

Constantine's sudden appearance and generally unfriendly nature created some dislike among the patrons, but they nonetheless make him stay.

In the story, a Swede named Gunter Helgeson made a trip through a similar blizzard and finds a cabin with all of his colleagues dead and headless, their heads placed on icicles outside the camp.

The late arrivals go to the lavatory, and Rudy accidentally walks in and curses in surprise as he sees that one of them is bleeding heavily from a stomach wound.

The second uninjured man, Dwight, warns Rudy that if he does not keep quiet about Lamar's injury, Waylon will have no problem with shooting him dead.

A young Pete sees three snowmen melting off to reveal three gruesomely killed men hidden in each snowman.

Back outside, Constantine and Pete heard the gunshots; both agree to rush to the nearest police station on foot while the storm worsens.

Waylon opens the door and sees a grinning Constantine, who claims to be responsible for the murder of the man found with an icicle shoved into his chest.

The kid was returned safely, and everyone watches in horror as Pete builds a snowman out of Waylon's dead body.

Like many of Brian Azzarello's stories, Freezes Over exemplifies the darker personality of the human psyche, where the characters are deeply flawed and social distrust came to them during the murder.

), Hellblazer: Freezes Over is a perfect blend of supernatural terror and real world nightmare situations" and that it was one "truly twisted tale".

Azzarello used his run on Hellblazer to dissect the working principles of the graphic horror narrative and thus moved it beyond the simple clichés of goblins and beasties.
