A review by beatsbybeard
From Hell by Alan Moore

5.0

Exceedingly creepy graphic novel that presents a studied and convincing theory of the Whitechapel murders of 1888, a.k.a. the Jack the Ripper killings. Royal scandals, blackmail, coverups, and the occult comprise the story and its vivid characters, juxtaposed with minimalist, black-and-white panels and expressionistic scrawls. The lengthy appendices at the back of the book provide sources for each scene within the sixteen-part narrative, as well as a zoomed-out look at "Ripperology" and its history. This book was absolutely captivating.
