Summary: Credit to whom credit is due ...
Comment: In light of the applause given to this particular author, the Freemason research - "a couple of Ph.d's worth" - was done by Stephen Knight in his 1988 book on the Whitechapel Murders. Knight died subsequent to proving the Freemasonic nature of the murders - and why there were only five of them. The book is now out of print (not surprisingly) but nevertheless, it is Stephen Knight to whom credit should go, for proving the freemasonic ties.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Alan Moore is one of those authors whose comics could be called great literature. "From Hell" is a disturbing comic about the Jack the Ripper murders. Alan Moore does an excellent job in researching the historical facts of the tale, and even provides an appendices which discuss where he got his information from. In depth historical research went into every panel of this graphic novel. Not only does it have an excellent historical grounding, but the fictitious take of Moore's is one which many of his fans would expect: occultism, mysticism, and an investigation of the nature of time. Like most of Moore's comics, every panel is set up and composed with a filmic precision. Although he always works with different artists, this panel set up must be Moore's mastermind because it is similar in every comic he writes! Campbell does a great job at rendering Moore's story into creepy etchings. The art style reflects the feeling of the story. An amazing comic, and definitely a piece of literature in its own right. Highly recommended

Summary: Absolutely amazing
Comment: I was absolutely amazed by the depth and quality of Alan Moore's FROM HELL. I've been reading graphic novels for a little over a year now, and in terms of subtlety, nuance, and overall storytelling, FROM HELL is head and shoulders above anything else I've read. I'm currently reading Moore's WATCHMEN, which also seems to be of equal quality.
I've never experienced anything close to what FROM HELL delivers in the admittedly short time that I've been reading comics. Alan Moore writes with the ear of a novelist and the eye of a portraitist. He packs this well-researched story of the Jack the Ripper murders with a wide and observant representation of life.
This graphic novel isn't just a retelling of the facts of the Jack the Ripper case (though it does an extraordinary job of that). It takes it all to the next level, and examines the reasons for examining such things.
It's not so much a suspense story (you know who the killer is right from the beginning) but rather one of internal discovery. A fascinating work of art and work of literature that should be read by anyone who wants to see just what comics are capable of.
