From Hell #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis landmark graphic novel collects the complete 14-issue series by writer Alan Moore and artist Eddie Campbell, presenting a meticulously researched and speculative account of the Jack the Ripper murders. The narrative weaves historical figures, occult symbolism, and social commentary into a dense, sprawling exploration of Victorian London and the identity of the killer. Campbell's expressive, sketch-like artwork complements Moore's intricate plotting, resulting in a work widely regarded as a masterpiece of the comics medium.
In "Prologue: The Old Men on the Shore," the shadow of scandal looms as the Royal family confronts Prince Eddie’s indiscretions, setting a chilling course of retribution. With Victoria’s cold command, Gull is dispatched to silence the women, while Gull and Netley embark on a haunting, otherworldly journey through London’s hidden streets, guided by a mystic’s enigmatic tour. Written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Eddie Campbell—whose distinctive art and inks shape the story’s grim, dreamlike tone—this issue blends historical dread with surreal imagery, all rendered in a cover by Eddie Campbell that captures the story’s eerie, foreboding mood.
In "Chapter Four: 'What Doth the Lord Require of Thee?'," the Royal family grapples with the fallout of Prince Eddie's scandal, prompting Queen Victoria to order Gull to eliminate the women involved. As Gull and Netley embark on a surreal, otherworldly journey through London guided by a mystic, the city itself seems to pulse with hidden sins and ancient dread.
