Alan Moore took 10 years to write and research From Hell for a reason. It's a masterpiece. Brilliantly detailed writing for complex characters and a story filled with history, politics, corruption, violence, horror, love, madness, law, and…

This is a fantastic book. Give it a chance...and use the intended rhythm of reading a chapter, then reading the according commentary for that chapter in the appendix. I have read this book twice, and both times it really taught me a lot…

No one can argue that this book isn't well-crafted - it just wasn't my style. The artwork was sketchy and monochrome, the story very philosophical and weird - and not in the way I like. Hard to explain, but I guess I didn't see the point,…

It took me awhile to get into this graphic novel - but I was diligent and it paid off. Moore really researched Jack the Ripper, and makes a compelling - and terrifically creepy - case for a Freemason conspiracy and Royal involvement in the…

I picked this up partly because I remember enjoying the film. After reading this I realized the film pales in comparison to the breadth and scope of this story. Masterfully written and although the art appears somewhat hurried (as to be…

Alan Moore never disappoints. Another masterfully crafted story with an interesting take on Jack the Ripper. One of my favorite stories by Moore.

For starters, anyone who is looking at reading this through the lens of the movie that obliterated this story : put that abomination out of your memory forever and READ THIS! It is equal parts historical research and wild fantasy (though…

Amazing! One of the best books I've read - let alone graphic novels. Haunting, and compelling - it stayed with me for weeks after reading it.

For my money, the best graphic novel I have ever read. Eddie Campbell's artwork is so richly alive, it transcends its black-and-white universe. Although the themes are dark, the book is not unrelentingly depressing by any means; there are…

One of my favorite reads of all time. Exciting, scare, tense with awesome illustrations. The annotations also provide a super interesting history of London and the free masons.
