From Hell, by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: Moore can do no wrong and Eddie Campbell's art only adds to the strength of this already monolithic achievement.
Review: Undeniably the most famous serial killer case in history would have to be the murders in Whitechapel in the autumn of 1888, 5 murders attributed to a killer known only as Jack the Ripper. While theories abound and almost every horror writer to pick...

Women's rights and Jack the Ripper

Date of Review:  May 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: A heavily researched and well-produced story, the words and pictures tell the tale of Jack the Ripper in a manner unlike anything I've ever seen.
Review: While few of you may know this, Sacramento, California (my hometown) has been home to a disproportionately large number of serial murderers and spree killings. From "The Sacramento Vampire Killer" to Dorothea Puente to the Unabomber, the criminally...

From Moore

Date of Review:  Jul 28, 2000
Review: Jack the Ripper has evolved from a serial murderer in the Whitechapel section in London in 1888 to a media creation during and following the murders to a figure of nearly mythological significance in modern times. One of the characteristics of the...

Moore Does It Again

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of Moore, you know what to expect. Otherwise, if you're a horror, crime, or Forteana/esoteric fan, you'll probably love it.
Review: I'm a fan of Alan Moore ever since the days of Watchman, and eventually got around to buying "From Hell". It's a fictionalised account of the tale of Jack the Ripper, the murderer of several prostitutes in Victorian London, who was never captured...

Jack, Masons, and Sacred Geometry

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2004
Review: From Hell rendered me useless for the better part of a day, mainly because I couldn't put it down once I started reading. Alan Moore isn't content with a simple narrative about Jack the Ripper. Instead, he combines extensively researched Ripper...

Gull's Travels

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: I cannot recommend this novel highly enough. Read it and wait for the film like the rest of us.
Review: My first encounter with From Hell came during my junior year of college. My friend and neighbor Kevin was in the midst of reading it. One day when I stopped by his place, one volume of it was on his kitchen table. Despite the gothic cover, I made...

A ripping yarn!

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: The oft-told and retold tale of Jack the Ripper comes to life (and death) again in a bold, realistic yet phantasmagorical graphic-novel approach.
Review: Usually I must suppress a snort of skepticism whenever I hear the term "graphic novel"; look, I don't care whether it's 1,000 pages long in hardcover with great leathern straps. If it's about Superman or Batman or Wonder Woman or someone else in...

Hell has frozen over

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2000
Review: "From Hell" is a fictional account of the Jack the ripper story, but it is based in a great deal of research and fact. Alan Moore has attempted with this novel to create a plausible solution to the Ripper mystery. He tells an exciting interesting...

Hell's foggy streets

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2000
Review: Alan Moore is without any doubt one of the most fascinating authors of these last years. His writing always lies on such a solid background of research and reference that most of his work gets better on second read. The fact that he communicates his...
