From Hell #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of the landmark graphic novel From Hell collects the opening chapters of Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's meticulously researched exploration of the Jack the Ripper murders. The story presents a dark, speculative narrative centered on the life and crimes of Dr. William Gull, blending historical fact with occult and conspiracy theories. Published by Mad Love Publishing, this edition marks the beginning of a work widely regarded as a masterpiece of the comics medium.
In "Prologue: The Old Men on the Shore," Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell launch a chilling, meticulously drawn tale set in a fog-laden London, where power and secrecy coil beneath the surface of high society. As Sir Charles Warren appoints Sir William Gull as physician to Prince Eddie, a disturbing medical procedure on a woman named Annie begins to unfold with quiet, ominous precision. The story's stark, atmospheric art by Eddie Campbell—pencils, inks, and lettering all his own—anchors a narrative that feels both historically grounded and eerily foreboding.
In "Chapter Two: A State of Darkness," Sir Charles Warren recruits Sir William Gull, a man of medicine and mystery, to serve as physician to Prince Eddie—marking the beginning of a chilling alliance steeped in secrecy. Gull’s unsettling expertise is put to a grim test when he performs a surgical procedure on Annie, one that promises a slow, hidden demise.
