Early Hellblazer
Prior to his first appearance in Swamp Thing #37, a series of flashbacks and supporting series tell the story of Constantine’s early life, including:
Hellblazer #39 and 100, Vertigo Secret Files: Hellblazer #1 (2000), Hellblazer #53, flashbacks in Hellblazer #13, Hellblazer/Books of Magic #1-2, flashbacks in Hellblazer #31, Sandman Presents: Love Street #1-3, flashbacks in Hellblazer Special #1 (1998): “Confessional” and Hellblazer #11, Shade, the Changing Man Vol. 2 #42-44, flashbacks in Hellblazer #130, and a backup in Hellblazer #75. A panel in Secret Origins (1986) #27 alludes to Zatanna’s training (and affair) with Constantine, as revealed in his Swamp Thing appearances.
A 2003 four-issue mini-series told the story of one of Hellblazer’s ancestors in Hellblazer: Lady Constantine
Then, Constantine makes his debut in Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing

Vertigo’s Hellblazer, #1-300 (1988 – 2013)
Writer Jamie Delano was tapped by Alan Moore to continue the character of Hellblazer from Moore’s run on Swamp Thing into his own title, which would go on to become an anchor of the Vertigo line (beginning with #63) and one of DC’s longest-running titles. In fact, it was the last three-digit numbered title to be relaunched during their New 52 era that began in 2011.
Over the years Hellblazer has been recollected into a consistent format twice – once in an aborted TPB line that began in 1997, and then again in a quickly-released line of TPBs that quickly blew threw dozens of previously uncollected issues. Also, TPBs cover every issue from #146 forward, whether they were initially or retroactively release.

“John Constantine, Hellblazer” TPB Collections

Here, Constantine begins appearing in a proper DC Universe Superhero title for the first time with Justice League Dark – though, it’s unclear how much of the history of this incarnation of The Hellblazer remains intact. He’s certainly not as old as this version, though he still has history with Zatanna. See below in New 52 for collecting information
#283-291: The Devil’s Trench Coat (2012 – ISBN 978-1401237202)
#292-300 & Annual 1 (2011): Death and Cigarettes (2013 – ISBN 978-1401240936)
New 52 Era (2011 – 2016)
While his own long-running series was still had 18 issues left in its life, John Constantine began his first serious run in the DC Universe proper (you know, the one with capes) since Swamp Thing by anchoring the new title Justice League Dark for two years before his own series was relaunched as Constantine – a name by which he’d become more commonly known across media (and, indeed, in JLD).
Constantine in Justice League Dark, #1-40 & Annuals 1-2 (2011 – 2015)
Justice League Dark (2011) #1-6: Justice League Dark, Vol. 1: In The Dark
Issue #1 is also collected in DC Comics: The New 52 Omnibus.
I, Vampire (2011) #4: I, Vampire Volume 1: Tainted Love
Collects #1-6. Constantine is a featured character in #4 and most of the issue is told from his perspective. It could conceivably fit prior to JLD #6. Constantine does not appear in I Vampire #6, though he is listed there in some guides.
Animal Man (2011) #7 & 9-10: Animal Man Volume 2: Animal vs. Man
Collects #7-11, 0, & Annual 1. Constantine appears in a single-panel cameo in a dream in #7, then makes a proper appearance with Zatanna and Madame Xanadu in the final reveal of #9 and in #10.
Justice League Dark (2011) #7-13, 0, Annual 1: Justice League Dark, Vol. 2: The Books of Magic
Though they are not included in this collection, Vampire #6 (no Constantine) is a prologue to JLD #7, which continues into I, Vampire #7 (no Constantine), which is resolved in #8.

Sword Of Sorcery (2012) #0 & 4 & 6: Sword of Sorcery Volume 1: Amethyst
Constantine appears in the single-page tag of #0 to collect the artifact that seals Amethyst’s world, Nilaa, which means it occurs prior to JLD Annual 1 and #14. Issue #4 is a team-up with Princess Amaya. Issue #6 finds Constantine back in the House of Mystery and he unleashes Eclipso on Nilaa! This includes some amusing Constantine action, but nothing of long-term importance to him. 
He is mentioned in #7 but does not appear.
Animal Man (2011) #13-17: Animal Man Volume 3: Rotworld – The Red Kingdom
Collects #12-19 and Swamp Thing #12 & 17. Constantine plays a brief-but-pivotal role in these issues. They do not especially have impact on Constantine’s continuing story.

Collects #13-19 & 0. Constantine and the House of Mystery are central to this series’ grand finale. If you read the prior JLD/IV crossover, you should also read this.
