“Us hedgepiggies don’t hold with that fancy stuff.” — A pretty perfect comic page from The Books of Magic, issue 3 by Neil Gaiman and Scott Hampton. I don’t know how I missed this book before. John Constantine, Zatanna, and all the DC mystics.

Made a “if you know them, what would they choose?” In picsart for queer DC moments of media I enjoyed. And I thought I did share this here too.

The John Constantine tie one is weirdly worded bc I did this in little to no time. It was meant to say that he was shown with his pride flag for the first time in 30 years. Yea anyway.

Bc some are hard to read or understand ask for context. If you wanna.

You know I've seen a post and probably reblogged it, recommending Terry Pratchett novels as an alternative to Harry Potter novels but I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone point out Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic comic series, which came out way before Harry Potter's original book run way back in 1990. I haven't read any of the issues yet but it looks interesting, and maybe if people get more eyes on it, it could start to become more popular and there could be a demand to see an alternative to the Harry Potter series with a show or movie based on Neil's Timothy Hunter character.

BOOKS OF MAGIC no.1 • sketch cover art • Frank Cho [Oct 2018]

Timothy Hunter may be destined to become the most powerful magician in the universe, but he’s still a London teenager, and having magical abilities complicates things more than it helps. It’s not like he can use magic to pass his exams, stop being bullied or convince his cute friend to date him. And while Tim’s trying to live his life, there are cultists who want to kill him, believing his power will eventually corrupt him into becoming a merciless mage. Oh, and those are the good guys. Luckily, his new substitute teacher is more than she appears, and may be able to help Tim discover the mystery behind the Books of Magic…

"Nobody touches that boy. That's right. That boy's mine. And in thirty seconds, me, and him, and the witch, are going to walk out of here. You know who I am. Or you ought to. You know my reputation, now... does any one here really want to start something? Right. Come on, you lot. We're leaving."

The Books of Magic. Book II. "The Shadow World."

i hope we get to see Timothy hunter in dbd because every interaction in the comics is so funny, he does not respect them as detectives and honestly he’s got good reasons, they always cause him problems and I’m pretty sure Charles still has no idea he was flirting with him

[rollforjackass]

the way he manages to juggle a teacher-student friendship and ongoing beef with the same fourteen year old is everything to me.

Do you ship it?

Timothy Hunter first appeared in The Books Of Magic #1 in 1990. Harry Potter was first released in 1997. Here's a direct copy-paste of a synopsis of Timothy's character;

Timothy Hunter is an ordinary English school boy who is destined to become the greatest magician in all of history. He learns magic through the mystical Books of Magic.
