To call Alan Moore’s From Hell a book about Jack the Ripper is doing it a disservice; not because it isn’t a book about Jack the Ripper (in fact its an exceptionally well researched one), but because that just doesn’t capture what makes it so special. Wonderfully illustrated in scratchy, and where appropriate, manic lines, From Hell creates a world in which the Ripper is not only a mysterious fiend but a sort of evil lynch pin ushering in a world of  sensationalized violence and popular madness. At times an uncomfortable read, its also intensely interesting and well written, one of my favorite experiences with comics so far.
