Description

Impulsado por una meticulosa investigación que abarca un amplio espectro de estudios y mitos del Destripador junto una capacidad para evocar sentimientos en personajes monstruosos Moore ha creado quizás la mejor examinación del cruel legado del Destripador. During its initial serialization, From Hell received the 1996 International Horror Guild Award for Graphic Story/illustrated Narrative, [16] and the 1997 Ignatz Award for Outstanding Story. Because yes, the good doctor is not only a lord and friend to the Queen, he's also a Freemason and trying to block the influence of the Illuminati by murdering women in a grizzly way. The serialized story, presented in its entirety in this volume, has garnered widespread attention from critics and scholars, and has been adapted into a major motion picture from Twentieth Century Fox starring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham. I had read Watchmen and found it to be genius; V for Vendetta I liked very much as well (a pretty powerful and angry political allegory, though much less complex), and have read others by The GOAT, or one of them, Alan Moore.

And the occult, always, for Moore (so much of what he understood about that time was connected to the occult; see his Providence, about H. Es una obra hecha a conciencia, con una cantidad de investigación ingente que merece su propio libro (de hecho lo hay) y que usa el autor para contarnos algo que puede haber sido real pero que seguramente nunca se sabrá.Más allá de la miríada de teorías existentes, que van desde lo sublime hasta lo ridículo, Moore presenta una ingeniosa visión de la matanza. It is massive, incredibly ambitious, an erudite work of scholarship and passion, and yet it also feels like one of the most personal of his works I have read thus far.

No, my "problem" with the art is that I just don't find it "pretty" (attractive might be a better word to say what I mean). While a work of fiction, this book includes a greatly expanded and detailed Appendix with factual notations as well as educated speculation (from the author) for each chapter and a period map of London giving the reader much food for thought. The sense of individual characters is simply not there--instead we tend to see the same faces and forms, over and over.

Normally, I do not care for art that lacks detail but for this grim and dark story-the art just fits.

Moore and Campbell's autopsy on the emaciated corpse of the Ripper myth has divulged a deeply disturbing yet undeniably captivating masterpiece. Everything that we have done since then is merely a rehash of the pure variety and invention developed by those artists. I found it to be a harrowing investigation of the motivations that can lead someone to commit such gruesome atrocities. Gull as the villain and creates the most compelling and terrifying psychological study ever undertaken. The events of Watchmen are set into motion by the murder of The Comedian, a retired hero with a long list of enemies with plenty of reasons to toss him off a balcony.Der Autor hat zweifellos eine Menge Arbeit ins Quellenstudium gesteckt, um möglichst viel davon in seiner Geschichte zu verarbeiten. An unflinching recreation of Jack the Ripper's mutilation of five Whitechapel prostitutes in 1888 is the core of this graphic novel.

If the story had followed the approach laid out in the afterward, I'd be writing a much different review today, one about the presentation of truths and untruths, of allowing the narrative to deconstruct itself, to fall apart while at the same time drawing ever closer to some fundamental truth about storytelling, about our need for stories, our urge to make patterns out of nonsense. Other tangents, presumably included for "completeness," seem superfluous and distract from the central focus of the story. The entire series was collected in a trade paperback and published by Eddie Campbell Comics in 1999; trade paperback and hardcover versions were published by Top Shelf Productions in the United States and Knockabout Comics in the UK.

From Hell goes there, serving as a freaky introduction to life without time, magical incantations, demons, and the power of location upon magic. Alan Moore is a very insane man, and although I was blown away by Watchmen, this book made me never want to read anything else he's written ever again.
