Synopsis :
"The Books of Magic began life when DC Comics decided to highlight some of their mystical characters across the range. They approached popular writer Neil Gaiman and asked him to come up with a four issue prestige-format series "about our magic characters".
Drawing on a childhood spent working his way through the children's section in his local library and a childhood love of magic and fantasy stories such as T. H. White's The Once and Future King,
Gaiman created an everyman character of a twelve year old boy called Timothy Hunter, who would need to be given an extensive tour of the DC magical universe before being able to decide if he should embrace or reject his destiny as the world's greatest magician.
Gaiman used the four issues to formally split the structure of the story, and allow for a different artist to draw each issue:
In Book I: The Invisible Labyrinth (artwork by John Bolton), Tim is introduced to the history of the DC Universe by the Phantom Stranger;
In Book II: The Shadow World (artwork by Scott Hampton), he is taken around the present world by John Constantine;
In Book III: The Land of Summer's Twilight (artwork by Charles Vess) he visits Faerie and the other mysical realms with Doctor Occult; and
In Book IV: The Road to Nowhere (artwork by Paul Johnson) he travels to a possible future of the universe with Mister E."

* : Avis de lecture qui apparaîtra pour tous les visiteurs sur le site
Un must d'heroic feery avec les dessins (par chapitres interposés) de John Bolton,Scott Hampton, Charles Vess et Paul Johnson.
Du grand art, bien avant "Harry le potter", lieu d'expérimentation d'univers "parallèles" en devenir tels : Helblazzer (première apparition de John Constantine par exemple), ou Stardust...par exemple.
