From Hell #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Alan Moore's landmark graphic novel continues the meticulously researched and haunting exploration of the Jack the Ripper murders, delving deeper into the dark corridors of Victorian London and the psyche of the killer. Collecting chapters from the original sixteen-part series, the narrative weaves together historical figures, occult symbolism, and social commentary as it builds toward its infamous conclusion. Moore's dense, literary script is paired with Eddie Campbell's expressive, scratchy artwork, creating a uniquely atmospheric and unsettling reading experience.
"Chapter Three: Blackmail or Mrs. Barrett" delivers a chilling turn in Alan Moore’s From Hell, as the Royal family grapples with a scandal threatening to unravel their secrets. Eddie Campbell’s stark, meticulous art—penciled, inked, and lettered by him with Des Roden’s precise lettering—brings a haunting realism to Gull and Netley’s eerie journey through London’s occult underbelly, where the city itself feels like a living, breathing conspiracy.
In "Chapter Four: What Doth the Lord Require of Thee?" from *From Hell* #2, the weight of scandal presses on the Royal family as Prince Eddie’s secrets come to light, prompting Queen Victoria to order Gull to silence the women involved. As Gull and Netley follow a cryptic guide through a London steeped in occult mystery, the line between divine duty and dark ritual begins to blur.
