Jeff Smax (born Jaafs Macksun), is a gigantic, blue-skinned, white-haired, super-powered, half-ogre policeman who lives and works in a city populated entirely by super-powered beings. Smax originally hailed from a land based on fantasy myth and fairy tale legends, but had left after a horrifying failure during his career as a dragon slayer.
The story deals with Smax and Toybox returning, via magical teleportation, to Jeff's magically enchanted homeworld. Smax, now a city dweller, seems embarrassed by his unsophisticated, sword-and-sorcery roots. They attend Smax's uncle's funeral where Jeff introduces Robyn as his wife, though no such relationship exists. At this point we are introduced to Jeff's sister, Rexa Macksun, dressed in the typical garb of a female fantasy barbarian such as Red Sonya and just as tall and physically impressive as her brother with the same blue skin and white hair.
The humorous tone caught most Moore fans off guard, as it was not quite as dark as his previous titles; still the series manages to touch on a number of dark topics, including alcoholism, prostitution and incest. The cartoony drawing style and "fractured fairy tale" content drew comparisons to Bill Willingham's "Fables" comic series, as well as Terry Pratchett Discworld novels (one of the Grim Reapers featured in Smax is revealed to be terrible at playing chess against peasants; similarly, the Death of the Discworld always has trouble remembering how the knights move).
