Alan Moore
(
Watchmen
) and
Eddie Campbell
Bacchus
), grandmasters of the comics medium, present a book often ranked among the greatest graphic novels of all time:
From Hell
.
From the squalid alleys of the East End to the Houses of Parliament, from church naves to dens of the occult, all of London feels the uniquely irresistable blend of fascination, revulsion, and panic that the Ripper offers. The city teeters on the brink of the twentieth century, and only the slightest prodding is necessary to plunge it into a modern age of terror.
Moore and Campbell have created a gripping, hallucinatory piece of crime fiction about Jack the Ripper. Detailing the events that led up to the Whitechapel murders and the cover-up that followed,
is a modern masterpiece of crime noir and historical fiction.
