![]() And everything gets really, really weird. Tim's friends and family are targeted by supernatural forces beyond imagining in attempts to get Tim to agree to a Magically-Binding Contract to own his soul and power. Unlike, say, Harry Potter, Tim does not immediately start taking magic lessons instead, he wanders around, wondering what to do with his life now that it has irrevocably become more bizarre, and dealing with all sorts of hard situations.Įveryone and everything he meets wants to use Tim for their own purposes or kill him (except, obviously, Death herself), including demons, fairies, and angels. They show him everything they know about magic, and at first he refuses the call but then accepts.Īfter the four-part series, Tim got a continuation of the title written by John Ney Rieber, focusing much more upon himself and the forces dealing with him rather than the DC Universe (this was around the same time the Vertigo line was distancing itself from stuff in the DCU). The books begin with four famous magicians from DC's history meeting Timothy Hunter, a poor adolescent British boy with messy, dark hair and coke-bottle glasses, who is destined to be the supreme avatar of magic of the age, on par with Merlin in the Dark Ages. The concept was introduced in a 4 issue mini-series written by Gaiman, lasting from January to April, 1991. It was originally conceived as a "tour" of DC's magical universe, showing off important supervillain and superhero figures, the magical realms, laying down the basic rules of magic, and showing the history of the universe and magic in it from start to finish. The Books of Magic is a comic book series set in the DC Universe's Vertigo imprint, created by Neil Gaiman. ![]()
