Review

When we last saw Skeeve and Aahz, they were at the Bazaar on Deva. While Aahz goes off to get some Pervish food, Skeeve checks out the dragons for sale. Unfortunately, when a young dragon eats part of his sleeve, Skeeve becomes the new owner of this one word dragon, whom he names Gleep. He also get set up for a sting by a beautiful green-haired, buxom woman named Tanda.

The thieves think Skeeve is an easy mark until he uses his magic to teach them a lesson. When Skeeve drops Tanda in a large pile of dragon pooh, she is about to kill him when Aahz steps in.

Aahz and Tanda used to be associated with Garkin when they tried to take down a fellow magician named Isstvan, who was steeling all of the magic from different dimensions. Tanda disappeared 80 years ago after they failed and Garkin disappeared, who she was in love with. Now, teamed with Aahz and Skeeve, they must once again try to tackle Isstvan, who has reared his ugly hear again.

Myth Adventures Two is the second graphic novel based upon the Myth series. These books are incredibly funny fantasy tales that revolve around the lives of Skeeve and Aahz. The story moves along at a very fast pace with quick and witty dialog. The original comics that are included in this graphic novel were written by Robert Asprin, the writer of the Myth series books, and drawn by Phil Foglio. There is a Myth Adventures multiple guess quiz of seven questions at the beginning of the book. This entire story (Myth Adventures One and Myth Adventures Two can also be read in regular novel called Another Fine Myth.)

 

Review

I have always love the Myth series by Robert Asprin. The mixture of Fantasy and Humor is not something that is seen too often, and Robert Asprin has perfected this fine art of writing in this style.

I have always hated the covers of the regular novels because they never drew the characters as they were described in the books. Yet when I first saw Phil Foglio's version of the Myth characters, I rejoiced because someone had finally listened to the descriptions of the wonderful characters that Robert Asprin created. This graphic novel is perfectly drawn and incredibly funny. I only wish that these two artists has collaborated on more books.

So, if you are looking for some of the best fantasy out there that will tickle your funny bone, try and find a copy of Myth Adventures Two by Robert Asprin and Phil Foglio. It will definitely be worth the effort.

I rated this graphic novel a 9 out of 10.
