Notes
- "The Gangster, the Whore and the Magician" is a text story with illustrations.
- "The First Time" appears to be set in London, even though Constantine still lived in Liverpool at that age.
- The two stories by Michael Bonner describe the main characters from Hellblazer (Volume 1) and shows a timeline of John's life.
- A second edition of this Secret Files was published in 2005. The only difference was the timeline, which was now updated to include the events of 2000–2005.
