From Neil Gaiman, the bestselling novelist and creator of the world-renowned comics title The Sandman, comes a mesmerizing tale of the dangers and opportunities of youth, and its endless possibilities. Illustrated by four of comics' most accomplished artists, John Bolton, Scott Hampton, Charles Vess, and Paul Johnson, The Books of Magic collects all four issues of the original mini-series that introduced the character of Timothy Hunter and set the stage for his continuing adventures. Timothy Hunter could be the most powerful magician in the world, but does he really want to be? Guided through the magical world starting at the begining of time by a group of DC Universe magicians, often referred to as the Trenchcoat Brigade (John Constantine, Phantom Stranger, Mister E, and Doctor Occult), they attempt to aid Timothy in his decision whether or not to embrace his gift. However, by the time Timothy makes a choice, it may have already been made for him.

Didn't get feedback on this or the other books, so I have no opinion. But I personally like Gaiman.

One of my favorite graphic novels
I've always thought this was a grossly underrated graphic novel. Gaiman is one of the best storytellers for this kind of genre, and the artwork is great. I guess one of the things I like about Gaiman is that he does a better job of capturing the simple wonder of these worlds rather than drowning you in mysticism or trying to bend your mind in 1000 directions at once.
