Summary

"If there's a funnier writer out there, step forward."

--Playboy

The always outrageous Christopher Moore--New York Times bestselling author of Bite Me, Lamb, You Suck, The Stupidest Angel, and a host of other prime cuts of literary hilarity--joins forces with award-winning screenwriter and director Ian Corson to bring you The Griff. An absurdly entertaining graphic novel about alien invasion--in the grand tradition of Cowboys and Aliens, but considerably more ridiculous--The Griff is vintage Chris Moore...with pictures! Get ready for thrills, chills, and a chain-smoking professional squirrel, in this high-octane tale of the infestation of Earth by extraterrestrial interlopers and the motley crew of humans who save the world...sort of.
