Publication History
Maria Hill first appeared in New Avengers #4 (March 2005), and was created by Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch.
Joe Quesada, who was Marvel's editor-in-chief during her first appearance, describes the character thus: " is such a strong personality, she's like a force of nature and quite frankly, while perhaps not immediately loved by all involved, she's certainly as strong and imposing a figure as Nick Fury. Right now I feel that people view her as the outsider but I don't think she’s any harsher than Fury has ever been, what's different is that we aren’t quite clear about her motives".
Maria Hill appeared as a supporting character in the 2010-2013 Avengers series, from issue #1 (July 2010) through its final issue #34 (January 2013), but only appeared sporadically after the first half of its run.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
