From Hell is a graphic retelling of the Jack the Ripper saga, casting Dr. William Gull as the famed killer. The story features a dizzying cast of characters – many of them well-known artists, authors and members of the royal family – and a complex conspiracy that includes illegitimate royal children, the Freemasons and a bizarre desire on the Ripper’s part to usher in the 20th century. The convoluted story, combined with the sometimes confusing artwork, makes events difficult to follow at times; I highly recommend reading the appendices as you go along to help make sense of it all. But the story is ultimately compelling and a good overview of the most famous serial murderer of history.
