From Hell

In this grimly atmospheric series from Magic Press, From Hell (1999–present) weaves a speculative, historically grounded investigation into the Jack the Ripper murders, driven by the meticulous, haunting artwork of Eddie Campbell, April Post, and Peter Mullins. Over five issues, the comic eschews simple horror for a dense, philosophical exploration of Victorian London’s social decay, class, and the dark undercurrents of power. Its significance lies in its uncompromising, literary approach to true crime, elevating the genre through Campbell’s expressive linework and a narrative that prioritizes mood and historical texture over sensationalism.
