Who is Mary Hunter?

Creation A picture of Mary was first seen in the limited series The Books of Magic issue 4 by writer Neil Gaiman and artist Paul Johnson in 1991. She was first referenced in The Books of Magic stand-alone series issue 2 by writer John Ney Rieber in 1994, and her name, gravestone, and basic origin were first given in issue 5 (writer John Ney Rieber and artist Peter Snejbjerg ) in 1994. She was first seen "live" in a flashback in The Books of Magic issue 25, by writer John Ney Rieber and artist Peter Gross in 1996. Origin and Identity Questions Mary Hunter, the wife of Bill and mother of Tim , is an ambiguous figure in more ways than one. She is rarely seen on panel, having died some years before the story of Tim’s life in comics. Thus she only appears in flashbacks. But even more than that, it is unclear who she really was, and what relation she had to Tim. She is almost certainly not human, and is most likely not Tim’s biological mother.
