The Cornelius Murphy series takes its hero on a tour of Robert Rankin’s comic universe across four books. The Book of Ultimate Truths (1993) sets up the quest, Raiders of the Lost Carpark mines archaeology comedy, The Greatest Show Off Earth goes cosmic, and The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived wraps up the run with typically overblown claims.
Published across three years, the series shows Rankin at a productive peak, delivering his brand of comic fantasy with the rapid-fire pacing and grandiose titles that his readers had come to expect.
