:For the 2001 film interpretation, see From Hell (film). For the original letter, see From Hell letter.From Hell is a graphic novel by writer Alan Moore and artist Eddie Campbell speculating upon the identity and motives of Jack the Ripper. The title is taken from the first words of the "From Hell" letter, which some authorities believe was an authentic message sent from the killer in 1888. The work is dense, multilayered and immensely detailed; the collected edition is about 572 pages long.About the bookFrom Hell was originally published in serial form in Taboo, an anthology comic book published by Steve Bissettes SpiderBaby Press.

Taboo only lasted a handful of issues, and Moore and Campbell took the series first to Tundra Publishing, then to Kitchen Sink Press. The series was published in 10 volumes between 1991 and 1996, and an appendix, From Hell: The Dance of the Gull-Catchers, was published in 1998. The entire series was collected in a trade paperback and published by Eddie Campbell Comics in 1999; trade paperback and hardcover versions are now published by Top Shelf Productions in the USA and Knockabout Comics in the UK.From Hell takes as its premise Stephen Knights theory that the murders were part of a conspiracy to conceal the birth of an illegitimate royal baby fathered by Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence, slightly modified: the involvement of Walter Sickert is reduced, and Knights allegation that the childs mother was a Catholic has been dropped. Knights theories have been described as "a good fictional read" whose "conclusions have been disproved numerous times".Casebook: Jack The Ripper: The Final Solution; see also Jack the Ripper royal conspiracy theories. In an appendix added to the collected From Hell, Moore writes that he did not accept Knights theory at face value (and he echoed the then-growing consensus that such claims were likely hoaxes), but considered it an interesting starting point for his own fictional examination of the Ripper murders, their era and impact. However, in the serialised publication of Dance of the Gull-Catchers Moore included an "authors statement" which consisted of a blown-up panel from the prologue, depicting the psychic Robert Lees confessing that although his visions were accurate, they were fraudulent: "I made it all up, and it all came true anyway.
