gothwalk: (magic is all around you)

I don't know if it's covered elsewhere in the series, but in Vertigo's Books of Magic, which I'm re-reading at the moment, there's a two-year gap between the first collected book - Issues 1 to 4, where Tim is 12, and written by Neil Gaiman - and the second, which starts at Issue 5, and is written by John Ney Rieber. Was there something else in there? Or is it just filled in later? I don't remember from my first reading...

It fascinates me how much of the series is either deriving from things I've read too, or how much of it I subconsciously picked up the first time through. I see elements of it all through my concepts of wizard, mixed in and jumbled.
At what point does use of a motif become laziness in the writer?
