Should add in 9ther stuff I have the old issues in a bunker somewhere.
** Cutter from ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' appears briefly in Possiltum, ducking to avoid being trampled when Aahz turns and bellows at the folks following him and Skeeve. Later at the Bazaar on Deva; Cutter, Skywise, and Strongbow also get trampled by a fleeing Skeeve in the Bazaar, who yells "Out of my way, kids!" as he runs them down. This results in a woozy hurricane of elf-references as the trio debate carving holes in Skeeve's anatomy, culminating in "Aye, this is our Elf-Rest!"

* AnalogyBackfire: Inverted -- Aahz tells Skeeve, "We'll be '''famous''' for this! Like Napoleon at Waterloo - Custer at the Little Big Horn - the Light Brigade at Balaclava..." The inversion is that Aahz presumably ''knows'' that those battles didn't end well for the named person, and thus is fully aware of what he's saying, but Skeeve doesn't know, and is genuinely encouraged by the analogy.

Starting in 2010, it was serialised as a webcomic on [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/mythcomic.php Foglio's website]].
The plot involves Skeeve, a hapless apprentice magician, and Aahz, a demon (i.e., a being from another dimension, no moral alignment implied) as they attempt to track down the person who killed Skeeve's teacher.
!!Phil Foglio's adaptation of ''Myth Adventures'' provides examples of:
* TheCameo:
** One of the Law Machines from Foglio's ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire'' can be seen featured during a major plot point.
--->'''Aahz''': That was our introduction to...the Law Machine. We were all dimensional travelers...I haven't seen a Law Machine before or since.
** Phil & Dixie and the pink Growf dragon(s) from Foglio's ''ComicStrip/WhatsNewWithPhilAndDixie'' make an appearance during the Bazaar sequence.
* ExplosiveBreeder: There is a RunningGag in [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/mythcomic.php?date=20101002 one chapter]] involving small dragons that reproduce on contact with water (which [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/growfcomic.php?date=20070204 originally appeared]] in ''ComicStrip/WhatsNewWithPhilAndDixie''). One of them happens to get into a market stall demonstrating umbrellas, and after that they keep showing up everywhere, until at the end of the scene the original owners are forced to round them all up.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Aahz, in a visual RunningGag, is occasionally seen snacking on various objects not usually considered food. However, considering the content of Pervian food, this may be entirely justified -- or just Foglio's sly way of pointing out Aahz's [[LargeHam scenery-chewing ways]] in the novels.
* FromASingleCell: Isstvan gets blown up by a spell, and then rather squishily reconstitutes.
* LameRhymeDodge: At the end, when Aahz is explaining why he chose to stick around and continue Skeeve's education:
-->'''Aahz''' ''(very quietly)'': ...besides... I like you.\\
'''Skeeve''': What was that?\\
'''Aahz''': I said "Have a brew!" I will allow you one night of celebration, and then, bright and early, tomorrow morning, we start teaching you ''real'' magik!
* ShoutOut:
** The Bazaar sequence includes shops named "Robert Asprin's Pharmaceuticals" and "Richard Pini Sexual Novelties And Prostheses", amongst others. (Richard Pini was the RP in "[=WaRP=] Graphics". Robert Asprin presumably needs no introduction.)
** Franchise/{{Godzilla}} can be seen amongst the dragons for sale at the same Bazaar.
** When Skeeve temporarily thinks Aahz is dead, he resolves to fight evil using a rat as an omen and "[[Franchise/{{Batman}} strike terror into the hearts of criminals...(a cowardly, superstitious lot)]]".
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler: Isstvan]].
