From Hell

An interesting and (To me) unique take on Jack the Ripper. I admit I do not know more than precursory knowledge on Jack; I've never heard of the theory that it was a Royal Family cover-up.
So to me, this was a delicious tale. Unfortunately, the art, which is bleak and evocative, just didn't gel with me. It certainly fits the story, but I wish it were better somehow.
I also very much appreciated how Alan Moore, at the end of the book, took us through page by page and explained the historical accuracy of each scene, his references and why/how he chose to do what he did.

Interesting review, Jonathan! I have heard about the possibility that Jack the Ripper may have been one of Queen Victoria's sons, but I think that theory has been debunked.
