Truth be told. I am a major fan of the work of Alan Moore having first discovered his brilliance when I first read the trade paperback of WATCHMEN back in the early 1990's. I went on to collect a number of Alan Moore classics over the years enjoying pretty much all of them and finding his classic work on SWAMP THING being my favorite. (oh, yes, there will be an extensive look at his run on SWAMP THING down the road) But, I have not picked up FROM HELL until today. Yes, I stared at a copy of the book on store shelves for years but never picked it up.  This despite the fact that I had watched the film adaptation and didn't find it as bad as some people said. So, why did I wait so long to pick up a copy of it?

Folks. that want $25 for the book and I am a working man.

But I finanlly did pick it up and it was well work the wait. This is a classic work of comic fiction.
