    MythAdventures

    Has anyone ever read the books or comics called MythAdventures?

    MythAdventures or Myth Adventures is a fantasy series by Robert Lynn Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye. After twelve novels by Asprin, published 1978 to 2002, he and Nye continued the series with seven morebooks. After his death in May 2008, she intended to complete their plans.

    The Myth Adventures are noted for and popular for their whimsical nature, myriad characters, and liberal use of puns. After the first book, every title turns on the similarity between the word "myth" and the prefix "mis-" or the word "miss". The inaugural title Another Fine Myth puns on the phrase "another fine mess". Chapters are usually headed by made-up quotes by famous or semi-famous persons.

    When things are at their blackest, I say to myself, 'Cheer up, things could be worse.' And sure enough, they get worse.” ― Robert Lynn Asprin


    “In times of crisis, it is of the utmost importance that one does not lose her head. Marie Antoinette” ― Robert Lynn Asprin

    “Just a little off the top!"- A. Boleyn” ― Robert Lynn Asprin, M.Y.T.H. Inc. in Action

    “When old friends get together, everything else fades to insignificance."- War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death” ― Robert Lynn Asprin, Myth

    “Numerical superiority is of no consequence. In battle, victory will go to the best tactician."- G. A. Custer” ― Robert Lynn Asprin, Myth Conceptions

    Pooh am I really the only one who's read these books
    Okay then here is a little more about them

    Characters

    The stories mostly revolve around the adventures of a few central characters:

    Skeeve, a youngish journeyman magician from the backwater dimension of Klah.
    Aahz, a green, scaly "demon" (short for "dimension traveler") from the dimensionof Perv, a world known for its foul-tempered reptilian humanoid inhabitants . Aahz (short for Aahzmandius) takes Skeeve on as his apprentice, despite having lost his powers through a prank pulled by Skeeve's now-deceased mentor, Garkin, at the beginning of the first novel. Later on, he and Skeeve dissolve their mentor/apprentice relationship and become partners in a magician-for-hire enterprise called M.Y.T.H. Inc.
    Gleep, Skeeve's excitable pet, a baby dragon with a one-word eponymous vocabulary ("Gleep!") that belies his incredible intellect.
    Massha, a woman of truly monumental girth with bright orange hair and a gaudy fashion sense; she begins the series as "only" an expert user of magical weapons and tools, but eventually apprentices herself to Skeeve.
    Guido and Nunzio, a pair of hulking and highly capable bodyguards attached to Skeeve as a favor from the interdimensional Mafia's light-in-the-loafers Fairy Godfather, Don Bruce. Nunzio seldom talks, while Guido speaks in a Runyonesque dialect, which is explained as being an aftereffect of having been in a production of Guys and Dolls. Both are much more intelligent than their stereotype suggests.
    Chumley, an enormous but quite gentle and erudite Troll whose professional persona is a monosyllabic muscle-for-hire called Big Crunch.
    Tananda, a.k.a. Tanda, a professional assassin and Chumley's nymphish Trollop sister.
    Bunny, Don Bruce's beautiful niece and Skeeve's assigned moll; she is an accomplished and intelligent accountant and is in love with Skeeve (though he does not know it).
