Purchase options and add-ons

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.

Amazon.com Review

The mad, shaggy genius of the comics world dips deeply into the well of history and pulls up a cup filled with blood in From Hell. Alan Moore did a couple of Ph.D.'s worth of research into the Whitechapel murders for this copiously annotated collection of the independently published series. The web of facts, opinion, hearsay, and imaginative invention draws the reader in from the first page. Eddie Campbell's scratchy ink drawings evoke a dark and dirty Victorian London and help to humanize characters that have been caricatured into obscurity for decades. Moore, having decided that the evidence best fits the theory of a Masonic conspiracy to cover up a scandal involving Victoria's grandson, goes to work telling the story with relish from the point of view of the victims, the chief inspector, and the killer--the Queen's physician. His characterization is just as vibrant as Campbell's; even the minor characters feel fully real. Looking more deeply than most, the author finds in the "great work" of the Ripper a ritual magic working intended to give birth to the 20th century in all its horrid glory. Maps, characters, and settings are all as accurate as possible, and while the reader might not ultimately agree with Moore and Campbell's thesis, From Hell is still a great work of literature. --Rob Lightner

Review

Winner of five Eisner Awards
Winner of the Prix de la Critique — Angoulême International Comics Festival
Winner of the Harvey and Ignatz Awards for Best Graphic Novel
Winner of the International Horror Guild Award
A New York Times Bestseller!

"Remarkable." — Leo Carey, The New Yorker

"Fearsomely complex." — Douglas Wolk, Publishers Weekly

"My all-time favorite graphic novel … an immense, majestic work about the Jack the Ripper murders, the dark Victorian world they happened in, and the birth of the 20th century." — Warren Ellis, Entertainment Weekly

"Moore's works have often defied the public's expectations of the medium, and his most ambitious work, the massive graphic novel From Hell, is no exception. … The result is at once a meditation on evil, a police procedural and a commentary on Victorian England. … an impressive piece of work." — Patrick Day, The Los Angeles Times

"A massive exploration of the Jack The Ripper murders that incorporates British history, Masonic ritual, and London geography in a fascinating and horrifying conspiracy theory." — Tasha Robinson, The AV Club

"Moore, one of the great fiction minds of his generation, never accomplished anything more satisfying than this. Both creators are at the top of their game: Campbell's grubby lines are the perfect evocation of the horror of everyday Victorian life in the underclasses, while Moore's allegorical plotting — looping in the Royal family, Masonic occult ritual, the Elephant Man and the nature of London itself — makes for a hypnotic read and perpetual re-read." — Joe Gross, Rolling Stone

"Centered on the murders of Jack the Ripper, From Hell delivers a very frightening and suspenseful story that has captivated audiences for years." —CBR

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like it

Spectacular. Haven’t read many comics or graphic novels, but I was blown away by this. I’d recommend googling some of the characters’ names when you first hear about them in the story — helps to orient you as you read. Also, heads up, this is a very graphic work in terms of sex and violence. Not something you’d want a kid of almost any age to flip through casually and it’s not a book you’d want to read on the subway with people looking over your shoulder. Still one of my favorite books ever. Incredibly thought provoking and compelling and riveting to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hellishly Ingenious Account of the Ripper Murders
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
This is an ingenious hatching of a theory of the Whitechapel Murders case, one that flies in the face of all that's good and civilized in Victorian Britain and the British Empire at its peak, despite all those well-known wens, warts, and suppurating lesions.

And perhaps the greatest graphic novel yet produced, despite the oftentimes nearly illegible lettering in what I must assume is a reduced page size from the normal magazine- or comic-page sizing of around 8.5” x 11” or so. (You may need strong reading glasses to make out some of the text.) Alan Moore is an indefatigable researcher and brilliant storyteller. Eddie Campbell's spidery, scratchy drawings suit the murky mood of the story. (And even so, when called upon to render historic London architecture, Campbell’s panels burst into glorious, meticulous copperplate-etching-type, scaled architecture-textbook detail and quality.)

This book gripped me from front to back. The conspiracy Moore conjures, supported by 42 pages of dense notes and an additional graphic appendix, unfolds splendidly. It includes, of course, the London neighborhoods, and volumes (or is it simple myriad panels) on 19th century social mores, to include, yes, all those whores and other species of “loose women” and, to our eyes today, reprehensible men, but also – for those who are unprepared, but this is no spoiler, because the Ripper stories have been in circulation for sometimes more than a century – royalty, to include Victoria, Druidism and the Old Gods, Freemasonry and its secrets and rituals, icons of 19th century art, architecture, and literature, details of contemporary police and Scotland Yard procedure, and, believe me, very much more, crammed into its 572 pages.

And on my next visit to London I'm going to bring with me chapter 4, as my guide to the buildings of Nicholas Hawksmoor. For an architecture buff, as I am, who has stomped around London peering into old churches and ancient structures, as I have, chapter 4, and its beautiful renderings of some of London’s greatest churches, was a particular unexpected, delightful serendipity.

I would urge every reader to narrate chapter 14 aloud, in the most refined English accent they are capable of producing. I found it to be a chilling reading experience.

And parents, if the title fails to warn you sufficiently, do examine the contents closely before leaving this one out for the kiddies on a rainy Saturday. The copy I read had no "for mature readers only" markings. From Hell is most assuredly for mature readers only and deserves, at the very least, an “NC-17” rating.

This is simply a terrific read and one that, I see from other reviews, will require from many a measure of patience. Moore unfolds his tale at what some will find a too-leisurely pace. Other readers have greater toleration for both glacial pace and a carefully studied narrative ambiguity. For those of us who wallow in detail, texture, and explanatory endnotes, as well as a horror stories that, in the end, are truly disturbing, this should be just the ticket.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raising the bar with Alan Moore
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

Like the Ripper strips away at is victims, Moore stuffs this bird exponentially giving a gluttonous serving of the arguably first modern day serial killer. Moore is the standard of the brilliant and astute student, well rounded in his efforts. He will bring his angle and create a sturdy foundation and a hell of a dwelling for fiction, where is served, the richest food for thought. It’s all there laid out, the process and reasoning in the end of the book just as entertaining as the story itself.

Moore, like any great author doesn’t just provide a narrative, he hones in on the time and setting and the spirit of the times and its people. The well stratified view of who walks the streets in 19th century England and how they are fleshed out. No matter the strata, he displays the culture of a people, somehow whether in a classroom or a carriage riding around in the streets, literature, mathematics, philosophy, even quantum physics will prevail in a panal of comic book action.

The black and white art is classic and undeniable as moody set pieces range throughout. Adding to the dodgy underbelly. Surprisingly, how the gore not only came through, neutral also, manifested itself and claimed the rest of the senses and creating the shadow world of what lies just beneath.

Moore’s work will be reread, because there will be so much Ed missed and overlooked, at least by me. There is a richness that calls out for a brilliant leftover feast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for those curious souls who love history, ~unusual~ theories, and more than bit of gore.
Reviewed in Brazil on December 3, 2020

"Our lunatic were prophets once, and had a prophet's power"

'From Hell' is a Historical Fiction that is beautifully crafted and smartly constructed, it manages to sell to the reader this story of who was 'Jack the Ripper', and yet - thanks to the amazing Appendix - it manages to make clear what is Fact and what is Fiction, meaning one can at the same time be immersed in this sea of fiction without loosing the sight of the shore of the reality known and documented. The first Appendix of this book is fundamental for the understanding of the Whitechapel Murders, being a great support for the book as a whole, I personally recommend reading this whilst reading the book itself. The second Appendix on the other hand may be better for after you finish the book, once it takes you back from the sea of speculative fiction and the idea presented by Moore of who is 'Jack the Ripper', being a great reminder of the actual known truth presented by the facts, and the less credible evidence presented by rumors.

The book itself amazed me. The atmosphere is great (although a bit too graphic for my taste, as an asexual I could have gone without the explicit sex scenes, and yes I know I should have expected them ok). The thing it makes the story even more disturbing is how it is drawn, the sketchy black and white style makes you pay more attention to some certain scenes that I am sure no one wants to look at much. When it comes to the events and characters, lets just say that is classic Alan Moore. Being V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The Killing Joke or From Hell, there is always a completely unhinged character with some ~interesting~ ideas to say the least. In this instance we have a combination of a bit of history with a bit of philosophy and a lot of crazy theories, making 'From Hell' perfect for the curious souls out there who love history, ~unusual~ theories, and more than bit of gore

Reviewed in Mexico on April 25, 2020

Una historia magnífica sobre uno de los grandes asesinos de la historia en un comic lleno de traiciones, toques de misticismo y su buena dosis de conspiraciones. Estamos ante la interpretación de la historia de Jack el destripador por parte de Alan Moore, algo digno de leer si ya estas acostumbrado a cómics más allá de lo normal en marvel y DC ya que la historia se desarrolla de manera lenta y no veremos acción cada dos o tres viñetas ni un dibujo estilizado, estamos ante una historia que no teme tomarse su tiempo en plantear las bases de todo y explicarnos las motivaciones de nuestro protagonista con un dibujo que dependiendo de la situación que nos presente pasará de trazos toscos a trazos incómodos y crudos lo cual lo hace perfecto para el tipo de historia que nos narra el autor. Al final del tomo nos incluye explicaciones a varias de las cosas mostradas en el cómic para que tengamos un contexto o explicación de lo mostrado en varias viñetas ya que sin esto podríamos perdernos o no tomar importancia a mucho de lo que se ve en la historia y del mismo modo tenemos la historia detrás del mito, un artículo escrito por alan moore donde nos narra como fue evolucionando la historia de este asesino y del mismo modo como se crea y evoluciona la teoría en la que basa su obra. Dejando de lado la historia, arte y demás contenido, ya que podría pasar mucho rato hablando de este y lo bueno que es, hablaré brevemente sobre el comic como producto. La portada tiene un acabado mate sin barniz lo que le da una buena apariencia, el papel de interiores me atrevo a decir que es muy parecido al papel opalina, y por último el lomo es rígido así que al no curvearse al leerlo es posible que el tomo se llegue a despegar ligeramente de un costado quedando unido únicamente por el papel que una la pasta con el contenido del cómic.

Es un clásico, son Moore y Campbell y ya sólo eso debería bastar como excusa para tener este libro, pero es que, además, la historia está construida con una minuciosidad capaz de cautivar no sólo al aficionado del cómic o la novela gráfica. Este volumen incluye también numerosas páginas de notas que ponen de manifiesto la exhaustiva documentación de los autores para la creación de esta obra.
