This was a dark one. And a lot! But solid for sure. Pacing was a little slower than I'd have liked, and there was more focus on the potential esoteric nature of the murders, but this brought an interesting addition to my understanding of the Ripper murders of the late 1880s in Whitechapel, London.
An epic of a GN by two big names in the industry, From Hell is a possible explanation of the Whitechapel murders that happened in the 1880s, which became known as the Jack the Ripper murders, and have captured the curiosity and imaginations of thousands of folks across the century and a half or so since they took place.
It's dark and grungy, and definitely won't be for all readers, but I can see why this is heralded as being ranked among the best GNs of all time.
There is less character development (due to the nature of the content) for most secondary characters, and I was a bit confused as to who was who, and how they were related to the murders due to the way the story is set up, but it wraps up quite nicely.

Really difficult read, quite confusing and meandering, maybe I'll go back to it later
Really good take on the Jack the Ripper case; a million times better than the movie. I really enjoyed the story, but, sadly, wasn't too into the art.
