FantasyScience fictionComic fantasyMilitary science fictionComic science fiction

Robert Asprin's MythAdventures are pun-filled comic fantasies about Skeeve, a young apprentice magician, and Aahz, a scaly demon from the dimension of Perv who has lost his powers. He also wrote the military comedy Phule's Company.

Best estimate, compiled from series guides, publisher descriptions and reviews where available, and from memory otherwise. Book level only, not chapter level. Minor includes cameos and brief references. Each book carries a confidence rating in its tooltip. Later MythAdventures books were written with Jody Lynn Nye; the first ten, by Asprin alone, are charted.
