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:
- The Luggage appears in the Ephebe Labyrinth.
- Two philosophers debate the Wintersmith.
- A Pictsie appears in St. Ungulant's illusion.
- The Battle of Koom Valley is depicted in one panel.
