House Ad DC Comics originally tasked writer J.M. DeMatteis to come up with a new series that would focus on DC various magical properties. Although the project initially fell through, DC later approached
Neil Gaiman to pen the mini-series. Gaiman introduced the young boy
Tim Hunter as his protagonist and had four mystics
John Constantine,
Phantom Stranger,
Dr. Occult and
Mister E lead Tim on a journey acrros time and space while meeting almost every magical or supernatural character in the DC Universe.
Each issue was painted by a different artist, John Bolton, Scott Hampton, Charles Vess and Paul Johnson.
The series proved popular and Tim Hunter's adventures continued into the
Mister E mini-series and
Arcana Annual before landing his own ongoing
The Books of Magic in 1994 under Vertigo. Although this miniseries was published by DC, the numerous spin-offs were all published under the then new mature reader's imprint,
Vertigo .
