<Take two asprin and call me in the morning>
I have just finished my second book by Robert Asprin and all I can say is
that it is very very funny.
I have read: Another fine myth
: Myth conceptions
I would never want to ruin them by even beginning to describe them in any sort
of detail.
Check out chapter 13 of the second book, and laugh (but dont read ahead).
The books are of course comedy sword and sorcery.
If you liked Divlish the damned you should like these.

These books were available from Starblaze, a small publisher that does trade size SF mostly, with silly illos by Phil Foglio. The mass market pbs have lousy standard fantasy covers... you know the kind I mean... all the characters illustrated look kind of like Friar Tuck! Oh well. -- ---------- Dick Smith ..ihnp4!wlcrjs!rhesmith

The paperback version of Aprin's _Myth_ books are published by the Donning Co., in Norfolk. The first two, _Another Fine Myth_ and _Myth Conceptions_ are illustrated by Polly and Kelly Freas, whereas _Myth Directions_ and _Hit or Myth_ are illustrated by Phil Foglio. (I just happened to have them sitting next to my terminal...) --boris

Yep, Robert Asprin is a funny author all right. Trouble is, he goofed when he changed artists. Kelly Freas did the original editions of "Another Fine Myth" and "Myth-Conceptions". Phil Folglio (sp?) did "Myth-Directions" and "Hit or Myth". All of them quite humorus. But Kelly is a MUCH better artist. Red
