The Bojeffries Saga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bojeffries Saga was a series of comic book stories written by Alan Moore and drawn by Steve Parkhouse, and which started life in 1983 in Warrior. Described as a "soap opera of the paranormal" it features an eccentric English family of werewolves, vampires and monsters in various peculiar tales.

After publication in Warrior, stories were later published in Flesh and Bones and Dalgoda. Four comics were published by Atomeka Press as part of its anthology title A1 in the early 1990s. Tundra Press published a collection, The Complete Bojeffries Saga (ISBN 1879450658), in 1992.
