Plot

The plot of this comic is the same as Small Gods, however some parts have been reduced in order to create a shorter story that's easier for the different format.

Differences between the book and comic

There are several differences between the book and the comic,as it has been shortened but also:

  • The short appearances of Fasta Benj and P'tang P'tang are reduced to a cameo on one page.
  • Brutha dies peacefully in his sleep, rather than while sitting and falling into his breakfast.
  • The people of Tsort are depicted more akin to Howondalians than their Trojan/Persian inspiration.
  • The Librarian appears at the Monastery in Oi Dong.

References to other works

Since there is a gap of 24 years between the publication of the book and the comic, there are some references to Discworld books written in the intervening period:
