Jobremus Bojeffries is like any other father trying to maintain order in
his oversized family. Never mind that family contains a werewolf, a
vampire, a grandpa in the last stages of organic matter, and a baby that
puts off enough thermonuclear energy to power England and Wales...
All right, they're no ordinary family. And this is no ordinary book,
with stories spanning decades, a whole chapter written as light opera, a
Christmas episode, and an all-new, 24-page comic bringing the Bojeffries
up to the present day. On every page, the wry and anarchic creativity of
the creators shines through: Alan Moore's affectionate and penetrating
grasp of human nature (and British culture) creates a kind of desperate
poignancy in the characters, brought to memorable life by Steve
Parkhouse's deft and articulate line work. It's all there, untutored,
unpolished, ramshackle, and always on the edge of collapse. Very much
like Britain itself.
