- Xanth Series I believe, there is no need to introduce this series, right? :-) I enjoyed the first three volumes and some others in this series. Check Xanth series at Amazon.com Skeeve, the apprentice magician and his scaly mentor, Aahz and ex-assassin Tanda overcome various "myth-adventures" :-) This series is fun. Maybe not quite a comic fantasy but there is enough humorous undertone. - Daimbert sequence Daimbert is a wizard but not good at it. He becomes Royal Wizard in the kingdom of Yurt and there are always troubles... even in such a small kingdom. Again, not quite a comic fantasy but humorous nonetheless. - Demons sequence - Gnome sequence - Majyk sequence - New York By Knight - Elf Defense - Druid's Blood - Sphynxes Wild - Yesterday We Saw Mermaids - Wishing Season - Split Heirs (with Roger Zelazny) - "Heroes" series - Wiz Series - Mall Purchase Night Author of many Star Trek novels. Works listed in my main list are all humorous. - Knight Life series - Sir Apropos of Nothing (series?) - Howling Mad Author of many books, including Conan novels. Many of the titles, such as "Incomplete Enchanter" series and "Reluctant King" sequence are humorous fantasy. Look up my main lists for individual titles. Many of the works are humorous. Individual titles are listed in the main database. - Ebenezum Trilogy - Ballad of Wuntvor - Cineverse Cycle - Sinbad Series - Infernal Devices - Kedrigern Series The first Kedrigern book, "A Voice for Princess" was published in 1986. Now, the whole series is being reprinted and new stories will be published from Meisha Merlin Publishing. Kedrigern the wizard dislikes to travel. One day he finds/rescues a princess turned into a talking toad. And the result? A human princess with a voice of a toad... These books are not actually in the genre of humorous fantasy but near, anyway. Co-authored two "Incomplete Enchanter sequence" with L. Sprague DeCamp. - A Wizard in Rhyme - Warlock series Callahan's Crosstime Saloon in a fairy land. You can guess the contents. :-) - Murphy's Lore series - Logical Magician sequence Author of many SF/Fantasy novels and well-known Amber series. There are several other titles which could be considered humorous. - Azzie Elbub sequence - Practical Demonkeeping UK/Australian Comic Fantasy
Check individual titles in my database. They are all humorous fantasy. Ronan series is, sort of, a Conan parody.
