This time, the wizards at the Unseen University learn that the Great A'Tuin, the turtle who carries the Discworld through the universe on its back, is heading for a mysterious red star with eight moons where the world will end. Picking up from the final moments of the previous book, Rincewind and Twoflower meet even more denizens of the Discworld, including Cohen the Barbarian, Bethan, a virgin meant to be sacrificed, Death, and Death's adopted daughter, Ysabell, and of course, The Luggage. The Light Fantastic: This book continues the adventures of the wizard, Rincewind, and the Discworld's first tourist, Twoflower, as they make their way across the world and over the edge. Along their journey, they encounter Death, Hrun the Barbarian and his talking sword, Kring, Liessa Dragonlady, leader of the Dragonriders, and travel from Ankh-Morpork to the upside down mountain called The Wyrmberg, and all the way to the edge of the world. Rincewind is tasked with showing Twoflower around and seeing him safely back to his home with a pleasant story that will bring more of these “tourists” to Ankh-Morpork to spend their gold. Enter Twoflower, the Discworld's first ever tourist, who has traveled from the Counterweight Continent all the way to the city of Ankh-Morpork to “look at things.” This odd behavior attracts a lot of attention, as does the fact that Twoflower carries a lot of gold and doesn't seem to understand how much gold is worth in Ankh-Morpork versus his homeland.
He does have a penchant for running away and escaping danger, though. He never got high marks during his time attending the Unseen University. Unfortunately, he is not a very good wizard. The Colour of Magic: Rincewind is a wizard. Illustrated by Steven Ross, adapted by Scott Rockwell, lettered by Vickie Williams and edited by David Campiti, The Discworld Graphic Novels captures the satire and wit of the original books. The first two of those books, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic, are available as a single graphic novel from Harper called The Discworld Graphic Novels. Few authors can combine humor with fantasy or science fiction and do it well, but Terry Pratchett combines all three brilliantly in his Discworld books.
