Synopsis
Legendary comics writer Alan Moore and artist Eddie Campbell have created a gripping, hallucinatory piece of crime fiction about Jack the Ripper. Detailing the events that led up to the Whitechapel murders and the cover-up that followed, From Hell has become a modern masterpiece of crime noir and historical fiction.
The Village Voice - Richard Gehr
Like the best of Moore's nonsuperhero work (and as a comics writer, the author of The Watchmen simply has no peer), Hell is a dark, mythology-saturated journey into Britain's magical antediluvian essence.

incredibly effed upby Anonymous

August 17, 2009: I read this book expecting a dark and sometimes ironically humorous story. This book is well-written and a good story, but it is incredibly effed up. With a graphic sex-scene in the first six pages, and an equally graphic dismemberment scene. I can only say now that this book is as beautiful as it is disgusting. I would recommend this book to anybody who has a strong stomach and is not afraid of what lurks in the dark areas of the mind.
I Also Recommend: Watchmen, 30 Days of Night, Batman, V for Vendetta, Batman.

June 26, 2009: Amazing book. Trumps Watchmen and V For Vendetta as Alan Moore's best work to date, in my opinion. Artwork is excellent, emitting the ominous, vague atmosphere to get you right in the mood of late 1800s. The story is convincingly told, and you really want to believe it's all real, that William Withey Gull, Queen Victoria's physician, was Jack The Ripper. I can't tell myself he wasn't after reading this. By the end he really was quite insane, but still a fascinating individual. Many characters draw your sympathy, from Gull's carriage driver Netley to the five prostitutes slain and mutilated. The interweaving threads of semi-factual events involving Prince Edward and his marriage to a prostitute that supposedly ignited the entire chain of events is brilliantly conveyed. The depth of Masonic information is very interesting, regardless if it's fact or fiction. Inspector Abberline is a great, human character, and his relationship with the supposed psychic of the Queen, Mr. Lees, is very real and convincing. The case of Jack The Ripper has never been more interesting or entertaining. One of my favorites.
