Knowing very little about the Whitechapel Murders, this book was a very good introduction to the subject. Extremely graphic too, so beware! I appreciated the appendices at the end which explain a lot of details that might not come as obvious to someone not familiar with Victorian London (or London all together), with many expressions, the author's though process and the choices made in different panels throughout the book. That was clever and of great help!

While I often found the art style muddy, ugly, and difficult to read, it reflects the time and place in which the story occurs. It was appropriately filthy, irreverent, and dark.
Intriguing themes abound; power, class dynamics, the occult, and female sexual liberation and slavery.
From Hell wasn't perfect; at times it was a slog. At the end of each chapter I would spend an equal amount of time reading footnotes about mundane street names and obscure tertiary characters. Overall, though, it remained extremely compelling. I'll be thinking about it for a long time.
