BIOGRAPHICAL TIMELINE
Asprin's first novel, '' The Cold Cash War '', an expansion of an earlier short story of the same title, was published in 1977 . Over the next few years, he created and edited (with his then-wife, Lynn Abbey ) the Thieves World series of Shared World anthologies, perhaps one of the first projects of its type. As this series progressed, the Asprins lost control over many of the authors and the series ended in anarchy. In 2002 , Lynn Abbey resurrected the series with the novel ''Sanctuary''. A series of Graphic Novels was published in the mid 1980s , and several of the authors, notably Andrew J. Offutt , Janet Morris and David Drake published novels about their characters. Also in 1979 , Asprin began to chronicle the comic adventures of Skeeve and Aahz in the " MythAdventures " series. These follow a demon who has lost his powers and his inept human apprentice as they travel through a variety of worlds in pursuit of wealth and glory. The Myth series is highly Pun -driven. Some of the early "Myth" novels were adapted as Comic Books by Phil Foglio and others. In the 1990s, the "Phule's" novels followed a ragtag space military unit in its own adventures which were reminiscent, in some ways, of Skeeve and Aahz. Due to a series of personal and financial problems, Asprin stopped publishing in the , it receives all income earned from books for which he is credited as ''sole'' author, and therefore it is in his own best interest to reduce his role to co-author. These novels include continuations of the "Myth" series and the "Phule" series as well as works in original series. BIBLIOGRAPHY
