About this omnibus

The Books of Magic Omnibus Vol. 1 collects Neil Gaiman's original miniseries and the long-running series that followed it, in which a bespectacled London boy called Tim Hunter is told he could become the greatest magician of his age. John Ney Rieber and Peter Gross turned that premise into one of Vertigo's most sustained coming-of-age stories.

Description

Background. Neil Gaiman's four-issue miniseries takes Tim Hunter on a tour of DC's magical corners, guided by Constantine, Zatanna and the Phantom Stranger. It ends with a choice, and the ongoing series is what that choice costs.

What's inside. Collects The Books of Magic (1990) #1-4 and the opening stretch of the ongoing series by John Ney Rieber and Peter Gross.

Why it's worth it. It is the most complete Vertigo fantasy series after Sandman itself, and its premise — an ordinary English boy told he is destined for magic — predates a rather more famous version by several years.

Edition details. 1504 pages. US edition published by DC Comics. ISBN 9781779504630.
