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.

I read Moore's Watchmen last year and was really looking forward to reading more of his work. 

Knowing very little about the Whitechapel Murders, this book was a very good introduction to the subject. Extremely graphic too, so beware!  I appreciated the appendices at the end which explain a lot of details that might not come as obvious to someone not familiar with Victorian London (or London all together), with many expressions, the author's though process and the choices made in different panels throughout the book. That was clever and of great help!
