From Hell
July 12, 2009
Just finished reading Alan Moore’s From Hell and absolutely loved it! This is a book that brilliantly illustrates the events that took place during the time of Jack the Ripper and more or less discloses the truth about that time. This story is bleak, grotesque, explicit and painstakingly researched. At the end of the book there are 50 pages of appendix that detail every scene that is drawn and where that information came from - it is most impressive. Many people may still feel graphic novels are just for kids and are not really a legitimate form of literature but I feel this book blows that convention down. It’s a great read and suggest all to take a look!
If you can possibly bring that to China I would love to read it this fall.
