From Hell by Eddie Campbell, Alan Moore
4.0
4.5
This is genuinely disturbing stuff because it’s more about evil in the grander sense than just the murders. All of the sillier elements like the Masonic conspiracy stuff still somehow work because they’re mostly ancillary details handled in a “truth is stranger than fiction” way. This feels like the comics equivalent to the movie “Cure”.
My only gripe is that I wish the art had been more polished at times because the sparse, scratchy look to most of this makes it hard to tell characters apart. That’s kind of important when you’re doing a sprawling story with dozens of characters.
