The BoJefferies Saga by Alan Moore
3.0
The Bojeffries are not your typical family, unless your family happens to include werewolves, vampires and other monster-type creatures. Their adventures are likewise off-kilter. From the very beginning, where a tax collector discovers that the Bojeffries house has managed to avoid taxation for a couple of hundred years (mainly by befuddling anyone attempting to collect)and befalls a comically terrible fate, it is evident that this "saga" is going to be an interesting ride.
For readers of Moore's other work (Watchman, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, etc.), this collection will come as a bit of a surprise. It's full of bizarre black humor and eccentric characters, but lacks the more serious gravity of Moore's later works. Nevertheless, it still manages to utilize Moore's inestimable storytelling talents to create a fascinating, albeit quirky, world.
