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)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
