A review by jbmorgan86
From Hell by Alan Moore

4.0

This is the most detailed and complex graphic novel you will ever read. Alan Moore creates a story based on a particular theory of Jack the Ripper. The novel is filled with primary sources about the murderers. Moore includes a huge cast of characters, cameos from nearly every famous person in London at that time (Alister Crowley, the Elephant Man, Oscar Wilde, etc.), numerous details about the city of London, and information about the Masons. Moore definitely did his homework. Particularly interesting is his use of time and the "fourth dimension."

The artwork fits the darkness perfectly. Every drawing looks like it occurs at night, in the rain. Some of the artwork is quite gruesome and disturbing, but fantastic nonetheless.

This "comic book" is truly a great piece of literature.
