It won the 1995 Harvey Award for Best Continuing or Limited Series, and the collected edition won the 2000 Harvey Award for Best Graphic Album of Previously Published Work. There is little sense of form or gesture, flow and movement are lacking, and worse, the stark balance between the white and black spaces--the very power of pen-and-ink work--is absent.

Weighing in at 576 pages, From Hell is certainly the most epic of Moore's works and remarkably and is possibly his finest effort yet in a career punctuated by such glorious highlights as Watchmen and V for Vendetta. But the plan has a flaw because there are other people who know about the child and these women, prostitutes, try to blackmail the prince's friend because they are getting harrassed by a street gang and need money to survive.

Apart from robbing much of the story of the shading a black-and-white style needs to really breath, it also often makes it extremely difficult to recognize characters. Even if you discount the theory of royal involvement, you come away from the book with a human picture of the Ripper's victims. This new edition, which has been completely re-mastered, is certainly the finest edition of the book produced to date.

A story doesn't have to be factual to be true, and I don't think I have read a truer story in any form than Alan Moore's From Hell. He even admits his own crazy obsession with such events is his way of trying to make meaning of life and death and culture and media and politics and history. The long chapter where the killer wanders the city, explaining all the little particulars of his madness, was less than I have come to expect from Moore. Queen Victoria becomes aware of the marriage and has Albert separated forcibly from his wife, whom she places in an asylum. La impresionante obra de arte en blanco y negro de Eddie Campbell, repleta de un brillo sucio y áspero se adapta perfectamente a la intensidad a menudo inquebrantable de la escritura de Moore.Ah, but then this delicate web is handed over to The Hughes Brothers ( Menace II Society), and things start falling apart alarmingly fast; there's a reason, after all, that this was the movie to make Moore famously declare that he will never again in his life sell the film rights to any of his future projects. Legendary comics creators Eddie Campbell and Alan Moore have created a gripping, hallucinatory piece of crime fiction about Jack the Ripper. Ya no se puede hablar de Moore sin que terceros salten a la yugular de cualquiera que discrepe con sus teorías personales. Detailing the events leading up to the Whitechapel killings and the cover-up that followed, From Hell is a meditation on the mind of a madman whose savagery and violence gave birth to the 20th century.
