☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fifth volume of the 1999 Books of Magic series collects issues #21-25, continuing the adventures of young magician Tim Hunter. In this arc, Tim faces a mysterious threat tied to a girl trapped in a box, exploring themes of identity and responsibility within the DC Universe's magical corner.
In "Rites of Passage Prologue: Into Thin Air," Tim embarks on a transformative journey guided by Aegaeon, a mer-man whose wisdom cuts through the chaos of growing up. As Leah takes on the form of a mermaid, she steps into a pivotal role in calming the ancient rift between Yin the Dark and Yang the Bright—whose conflict has silenced the tides of the world. Written by John Ney Rieber and illustrated with striking detail by Peter Snejbjerg, with colors by Nathan Eyring and lettering by Richard Starkings and Comicraft, this issue features a haunting cover by Michael Kaluta.
