Sobre a história do Moore não tenho nada para acrescentar que já não foi dito antes, a obra é maravilhosa.

Psychogeography was defined in 1955 by French Philosopher Guy Debord as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals. Gull instructs his driver John Netley, to tour several London landmarks, Cleopatra’s Needle and the churches of 18th century architect Nicholas Hawksmoor. this theory of the Ripper ’s identity was first proposed in journalist Stephen Knight ’s 1976 book, Jack The Ripper: The Final Solution . If you want a fantastical read, rich with well written characters, and a plot out of left-field, this will more than satisfy that urge.

The award-winning bestseller FROM HELL, often ranked among the greatest graphic novels of all time, takes on haunting new dimensions in FROM HELL: Master Edition, enhanced by impressionistic hues and revisions by Eddie Campbell himself, along with all the original annotations by Alan Moore.

All I can offer is my own experience - which was that for me From Hell: Master Edition is a welcome enhancement and was far more horrifying, illuminating and transcendent than I ever imagined it could be again. We readily see how the pernicious Victorian society portrayed in From Hell allows Gull to behave with impunity whereas in the reality of today there is some acceptance that within a dysfunctional system ‘there is no process, procedure or regulation which can prevent malpractice on its own’. This fictional Gull goes about his business with procedural detachment, devoid of consent or dignity. However, in the Master Edition Campbell introduces blue skies, fog and smog to the landscape and gives color to the surrounding buildings. What these new details do is force the reader to examine every detail, every color contrast, and every available line of dialogue all in single go and watch them weave the story.

As striking as the imagery was, I’m inclined to agree with Eddie Campbell in an interview with Previews Magazine who said that after reading the Master Edition the original will feel like viewing it through a woolly sweater.

Aside from all the aforementioned gore sex and violence it is nearly 600 pages of dense history, Psychogeography, folklore, and super-dense layered text characteristic of all of Moore’s work ( Moore himself did not add much new material to the Master Edition save for more of his copious notes). Even the lettering conveys specific dialects and education levels with grammar and typography and spacing, or even alertness or drunkenness.It’s also harder to gloss over the Ripper’s victims namely Mary Kelly and their outfits conveying bright pretty yet faded colors and the slight rose tint of their bodies which is also their trade and often means of survival (though at times, their skin appears faded and drained when worn down by the hardness of their lives. It was only years later when I first glanced into the graphic novel, I realized what a tremendous disservice the movie was to its source material. I confess that when I first obtained the complete original From Hell, I only read through it partially. Especially given that following Moore ’s ongoing legal battles with DC Comics for the IP rights, he has effectively disowned Watchmen .
