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 .

Renowned for its grimy and bleak Victorian black and white aesthetic, it has recently been published in a new Master Edition revised by Campbell himself ‘for color, clarity, and continuity’.Readers would’ve undoubtedly noticed the series was presented in rough black and white, from lightly sketched pieces almost resembling illustrated magazines of the Victorian era, to oppressive all-consuming nightfall or shadows whose presence in the book is rivaled by one element; blood - which glistens like midnight. Among his many awards are the Hugo Award, the Locus Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the Eisner Award, and the International Horror Guild Award. Despite initial difficulties reading I had already come to regard it as Moore’s finest work and while Watchmenwill always be his most popular story (and possibly the greatest superhero series of all time), From Hell is really more of what Moore’s all about.

It is here that Gull claims to give birth to the twentieth century and its paradoxical proclivities to iniquity and dehumanization amid unimaginable technology wealth and progress.

Of course, the abuse of medical knowledge, power and privilege isn’t confined to the actions of caricatured physicians of the past.
