Description
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, From Hell is a modern masterpiece of crime noir and historical fiction.

Brutal, schonungslos und sehr gut gemacht trotz seiner vergleichsweise simplen Zeichnungen. Die Theorie, dass die bestialischen Ripper-Morde etwas mit der britischen Königsfamilie zu tun haben, die hier kurzerhand fünf Frauen brutal zum Schweigen bringen lässt, hat definitiv was. Ich kann’s mir vorstellen, gerade auch angesichts heutiger Verstrickungen mancher Mitglieder des Hauses Windsor. Aber die These wurde m.W. ja schon vor langer Zeit widerlegt. Schön war auch, dass ich zentrale Stellen aus der Verfilmung mit Johnny Depp und dem grandiosen Sir Ian Holm wiedererkannt habe. Da war Nostalgie dabei, obwohl ja die Graphic Novel älter ist als der Film. Gute Unterhaltung jedenfalls, die ihre 4 Sterne verdient hat.
