About this deal

Moore knows this as well as anyone, pointing out in his afterward that the whole thing has become a silly game, a masturbatory immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with discussions on the levels of Star Wars canon or Gandalf's particular racial background. I would hate to ruin any of the surprises Watchmen might hold for you, and I envy you just a little bit.

The title is taken from the first words of the "From Hell" letter, which some authorities believe was an authentic message sent from the killer in 1888. You thought you were going to read about a serial killer, maybe get a thrilling whodunit and police procedural. One detail that sticks in my mind is a boarding house that, if you're unable to afford an actual room, will rent you space on a bench. For example, the character Johnny Depp plays in the movie version is in actuality an amalgam of three different characters from the original book -- a policeman, a psychic, and a crazed opium addict -- not to mention that in the book, these three characters are supposed to not like each other, with personalities that naturally clash against the other two. creo que el artista hace un gran trabajo y se nota la atención al detalle y el esfuerzo por ofrecer un retrato veraz y fiel de la época.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. An unflinching recreation of Jack the Ripper's mutilation of five Whitechapel prostitutes in 1888 is the core of this graphic novel.

The depiction of the murders themselves—particularly their climax, the murder of Mary Kelly, which takes up an entire chapter—is horrific and merciless, explicit and graphic. In one of the books most powerful—and memorably realized—sequences, Gull takes us (and his coachman Netley) on an occult tour of the urban geography of London, crowding our minds with historical anecdotes, precisely limning for us the pentagrammic map of the ceremonial violence to come. En la superficie, "From Hell" presenta en forma de narración ilustrada los acontecimientos históricos de los asesinatos de Whitechapel en el año 1888, si no me equivoco. 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. Contrarily, Campbell's art was too broad and nonspecific to capture the weight and thrust of history--even if it is an invented history.On the back cover, Moore states, "For my part I am concerned with cutting into and examining the still-warm corpse of history itself. No, my "problem" with the art is that I just don't find it "pretty" (attractive might be a better word to say what I mean).
