Books of Magic got a 75 issue long run over 6 years in the 90s.
Like this was a book about a child character on the periphery of Vertigo most well known for being the audience insert for DC's "Magic Explained" Miniseries.
And yet somehow despite it all Tim Hunter got a whole 75 issue run which then transitioned into a new book in Names of Magic (same story but a new creative team for the rebrand) the next year that lasted 5 issues which was a prologue to another run Age of Magic that lasted another 3 years and 25 issues, before getting another 15 issues as Books of Magick: Life during War before concluding.
There was basically an entire 11 year run of Tim Hunters adventures over 120 issues from 94-05 and I have never once heard anyone talk about these books ever. Admittedly only the initial 75 issues were actually good but its still an insane number and shows how much momentum Vertigo had in its day.
