From Hell
Alan Moore
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.
Posted by brutesbook (1 year ago ) Graphic fiction. I love it. There's a huge range of titles out there beyond the usual superhero gubbins and as an industry it seems to be growing fast. And here is, in my humble but educated opinion the finest example ever written. Alan Moore has many quite brilliant works to his name including the often touted "Best Graphic Novel Ever", "The Watchmen"... but "From Hell", with it's enormous wealth of depth, research, wit and satire is truly his masterpiece. Eddie Campbell's illustration work brings it to life (or indeed death... so much blood!). It's certainly the most atmospheric and educational graphic novel I've read yet. If you're a fan of this genre, you must read this book. Thank you Mr Moore.
