This is such a funny book which can be enjoyed without having read the previous book in the series (but it helps, plus, the first Duncan & Mallory book is very VERY funny as well)

Most of the notables return for this installment (plus one extra returning in another role, there's a hillarious bit about that early on) and are thrown together at, of all places, a tarantula ranch. Once again Robert Aspirin's prose and Mel White's artwork are wonderful and make this book and absolute riot. Highly recommended.

I picked this up along with the first book in the series for a dollar apiece at a closing out sale about 8 or 9 years ago. One of the funniest graphic novels I've ever read. The irreverant humor and hilarous drawings make it a real treat. I've heard that Robert Asprin and Melanie White had issues with the publisher, and only recently got the rights to the characters back. Ms. White is supposedly working on a new book in the series, so hopefully there will be more!

Writing and art should always be this much fun. Duncan and Mallory are a hoot, almost deveelishly clever...well, at least Mallory is...well, he is when he's not running in terror from...well, you're just going to have to read it to find out. This series is as amusing as the Myth Adventures graphic series. If you're looking for a good laugh with a few good chuckles and snickers thrown in, this is the book to read.
