Mary Kelly and Polly Nichols are drawn as attractive as reflecting contemporary comments though. Adaptational Attractiveness: Defied by Alan Moore, who notes that the women were not the sultry temptresses portrayed in other media, but perfectly ordinary women (albeit in worse shape than many due to their poor situation).This echoes the boasts of Liston himself. Absurdly Sharp Blade: Gull's weapon is a Liston knife, a surgical blade which he brags can saw through a full human leg in less than a minute.Free of Life, how then shall I be shackled? Free of Time, how then shall history be my cage? I am a wave, an influence. I am not man so much as syndrome as a voice that bellows in the human heart. I am become a symbol in the human soul, a fearful star in mankind's inner firmament. Specifically, it's his spirit that gives rise to all modern serial killers. Abstract Apotheosis: Gull, in his dying madness, believes this to be happening to him.Though what we see near the end indicates otherwise-he sees Mary Kelly alive and she sees him and tells him to "go back to hell." It might just be the hallucinations of a depraved, dying mind. A God Am I: In Gull's last moments of life, he seems to believe that he's becoming a God.The plan is to colorize the trade paperback edition, publish it serially in chapters, with a new epilogue written and drawn by Moore and Campbell.

The entire series was collected in trade paperback, published by Eddie Campbell Comics in 1999.įrom Hell takes as its central premise Stephen Knight's theory that the Ripper murders were part of a conspiracy to conceal the birth of an illegitimate royal baby fathered by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence. The series was published in 10 volumes between 19, and an appendix, From Hell: The Dance of the Gull-Catchers, was published in 1998.
