Myth Adventures is a
comic book adapted by
Robert Aspirin and
Phil Foglio and illustrated by
Phil Foglio. Myth Adventures is adapted from the first novel of
Robert Aspirin's Myth Series,
Another Fine Myth. Originally published by
Starblaze Graphics as an 8 issue series, it was later collected into two
graphic novels.
Myth Adventures is wonderfully illustrated(with a small background appearance of
Phil Foglio's Buck Godot), and is a great read as a
fantasy or
humour comic.
It follows the story of
Skeeve, a wizard's
apprentice, who after being with his master,
Garkin, has learned to
levitate objects and
light a candle(sort of). When
Garkin decides, that
Skeeve still isn't putting enough effort into the
magic, he decides him to show more of the
power of
magic. He begins a ritual to summon a great
demon!
But as his master is casting the summoning
spell, an
assassin enters their hut and shoots
Garkin, as
Garkin disentagrates the assassin.
And the
demon appears.. and says, "
Boo."
Apparently the
demon that
Garkin summoned was an old drinking buddy from another
dimension.
Aahz, the demon(or actually
Pervect), makes
Skeeve his
apprentice once he realizes that he's lost all of his magical abilities.
For
Skeeve and
Aahz are going to stop the man that killed
Garkin. A great
wizard,
Isstvan, who wants to destroy all other
wizards. Their voyage of mythadventure begins.
