This review is from: The Complete Bojeffries Saga (Paperback)

THE COMPLETE BOJEFFRIES SAGA collects the appearances of England's most disturbing family from various comics and magazines of the '80s and '90s. Created by Alan Moore and Steve Parkhouse, the Bojeffries clan may remind you of the familiar Addams Family, but with a more darkly humorous side: Uncle Raoul, the werewolf with a taste for poodles; Uncle Festus, the foul-mouthed vampire; Ginda, a brutish woman (?) who just wants a boyfriend; Grandpa Podlasp, a cthuloid monstrosity living in the greenhouse; Reth, a somewhat quirky though comparatively normal young man; and on top of it all, Jobremus, head of the family, a mad scientist of sorts whose "curiosity dampener" prevents the neighbors from asking too many questions.

This collection includes all of the Bojeffries tales published up to 1992, plus a nice musical piece and some cut-outs. The stories showcase Moore's particularly bizarre sense of humor while simultaneously providing new twists on the familiar monster standards. I've heard that Moore is supposedly working on some more stories to finish out the saga while taking a break from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. As this book has been out of print for quite a while, it'd be nice to have a new edition with more stories... it's pretty expensive on the secondary market.
