Robert (Lynn) Asprin was born in 1946. While he wrote some stand alone novels such as The Cold Cash War, Tambu, and The Bug Wars and also the Duncan & Mallory Illustrated stories, Bob is best known for his series fantasy, such as the Myth Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve, the Phule's Company novels, and the Time Scout novels written with Linda Evans. He also edited the groundbreaking Thieves' World anthology series with Lynn Abbey. Other collaborations include License Invoked (set in the French Quarter of New Orleans) and several Myth Adventures novels, all written with Jody Lynn Nye.
Bob's final solo work was a contemporary fantasy series called Dragons, again set in New Orleans.
Bob passed away suddenly on May 22, 2008. He is survived by his daughter and son, his mother and his sister.
I like partnerships that make sense and this just makes sense. Two misfits thrown together and making the best of it. Very funny. This would make a phenomenal movie. This book feels like you're watching a movie.
I read this trilogy of graphic novels over the holiday weekend, and although not great, Mallory at least is, at least graphically, really neat. On a whole, I think this series would make a great Pixar-ish type movie.
Read this as part of a reading challenge (author has same initials as me) and it was painful. Really not my thing, but if you like cheesy comics, you might like this.
