To counter this new threat, Gull takes on the persona of the infamous Ripper and hunts them down one by one - and with each ungodly deed, Gull succumbs to his own dark desires and eventually madness.

It has links to the Lettrist and Situationist Internationals, revolutionary groups influenced by Marxist and anarchist theory, and the attitudes and methods of Dadaists and Surrealists. Experientially different from the original, it is a vivid and thought-provoking read for all GPs as long as they possess a suitably hardy constitution.As with the fully colorized Gull arch it is much harder now to ignore the story of Inspector Abberline or his pale perpetually tired sunken face conveying frustration, rage and despair at his inability to escape the Whitechapel or solve the murders which his own Scotland Yard conspires to keep under wraps.

As striking as the imagery was, I’m inclined to agree with Eddie Campbell in an interview with Previews Magazine who said that after reading the Master Edition the original will feel like viewing it through a woolly sweater. As he describes their supposed forgotten origins and power, the color contrast transforms them into something more phallic, or blade-like. As a practice and theory, psychogeography has influenced a broad set of cultural actors, including artists, activists and academics (Perhaps to most famous psychogeographer today is London-based Iain Sinclair , who is also personal friend of Moore ’s). However, 30 years later, Campbell finally accepted the challenge and chose to do all his coloring digitally with all of its palates and options previously unimaginable.In this remarkable new edition, the award-winning bestseller From Hell now features astonishing colours by Eddie Campbell!

His body of work includes the groundbreaking graphic novels Watchmen , V for Vendetta , The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen , and Lost Girls , as well as the novels Voice of the Fire and Jerusalem and the poem The Mirror of Love . We readily see how the pernicious Victorian society portrayed in From Hell allows Gull to behave with impunity whereas in the reality of today there is some acceptance that within a dysfunctional system ‘there is no process, procedure or regulation which can prevent malpractice on its own’. Although Moore notoriously despises all adaptations of his work, his wrath is especially justified against the feature film.

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. The medical gaze becomes a mirror: perhaps the model of medicine we participate in is inherently diseased. Especially given that following Moore ’s ongoing legal battles with DC Comics for the IP rights, he has effectively disowned Watchmen . The award-winning bestseller FROM HELL , often ranked among the greatest graphic novels of all time, takes on haunting new dimensions in FROM HELL: Master Edition , enhanced with impressionistic hues by Eddie Campbell himself.
