About the series
In the late 1990s, Tilsner published Die Bücher der Magie, a 13-issue German comic series that adapts and expands upon the magical corners of the DC Universe. Rooted in the same mythos as Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the series explores the lives and secrets of various magicians and supernatural beings, weaving a dark, atmospheric narrative. While specific creators are not detailed, the series is notable for bringing the complex, literary tone of Vertigo-style magic to a German audience. It matters as a distinctive, non-English interpretation of a beloved fantasy subgenre, offering a self-contained journey through occult lore.
