baasanka 's review for:

From Hell by Eddie Campbell, Alan Moore
4.0

The art style in this is fantastic - simple, black and white, just ink and paper. A number of the panels look like quick sketches, which works very well, and, to be honest, as an amateur artist I've picked up a couple of good ideas on how to draw this and that.

The story features a few of the elements I adore in fiction - there's mystery and mysticism, a good dollop of cynicism, brutality. The plot at times was a little bit hard to follow, which is the main reason why I'm subtracting a star, but apart from a few small criticisms I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
