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:
“Of all human events, perhaps, the publication of a first volume of verses is the most insignificant; but though a matter of no moment to the world, it is still of some concern to the author.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
