Duncan & Mallory Graphic Novels Books in Order

The Duncan & Mallory books are graphic novels, and they show another side of Robert Asprin's humor. Instead of long-form prose fantasy, these stories use a comic-adventure setup with a deliberately mismatched pair at the center.

Duncan is a human warrior with more sincerity than polish. Mallory is a small silver dragon and a natural schemer. Put together, they make the kind of team Asprin loved, one part earnest, one part slippery, both headed toward trouble.

The stories play like fantasy capers. You get travel, dubious plans, bad odds, and the sense that the heroes are only partly in control of what comes next. That lighter, almost storybook-comic rhythm matters. These books are not trying to be grim epic fantasy in illustrated form. They are trying to be fun.

If you are browsing this page, expect a compact side road off the main Asprin shelf. The draw is the pairing, the visual storytelling, and the way the books carry his taste for odd partnerships into graphic format. They are a good pick if you want something breezier than Thieves' World and more obviously cartoonish than the Myth prose novels.
