Myth Adventures is a comic fantasy series created by Robert Lynn Asprin, in which almost every title puns on the word myth. Another Fine Myth (1978) opened it, playing on the phrase another fine mess, and Myth Conceptions, Myth Directions, Hit or Myth and Myth-ing Persons followed. Asprin wrote twelve novels to 2002, then wrote seven more with Jody Lynn Nye; after his death in 2008 Nye continued the series alone. Twenty-one books are catalogued, reaching Myth-Fits in 2016, with the magician Skeeve and the kingdom of Possiltum at the centre.
