For example, the character Johnny Depp plays in the movie version is in actuality an amalgam of three different characters from the original book -- a policeman, a psychic, and a crazed opium addict -- not to mention that in the book, these three characters are supposed to not like each other, with personalities that naturally clash against the other two. In 2000, the graphic novel was banned in Australia for several weeks after customs officers seized copies of the seventh issue from a shipment intended for Quality Comics.

E a tutti quelli che come me hanno criticato i disegni di Campbell, e che magari avrebbero preferito un disegnatore iper-dettagliato e realistico stile Jacen Burrows (artista della trilogia lovecraftiana di Providence scritta dallo stesso Moore) io dico: gli omicidi di Marie Kelly e le sue sventurate compagne da parte di "Jack" qui raffigurati, non sono già fin troppo disturbanti? It won the 1995 Harvey Award for Best Continuing or Limited Series, and the collected edition won the 2000 Harvey Award for Best Graphic Album of Previously Published Work. reading Watchmen, Moore's 'magnum opus', which was remarkably overlong and horribly pretentious (OH COME ON, ALAN, WHY THE PIRATES? Gull refuses to submit to the council, informing them that because of his accomplishments and his visions, no man amongst them may be counted as his peer and cannot judge the "mighty work" he has wrought. The result is at once a meditation on evil, a police procedural and a commentary on Victorian England.El volumen que yo he leído incluye unos apéndices en que el autor nos explica de donde sale prácticamente cada cosa tratada en la obra, y es en sí mismo digno de leerse.

The book makes the concerted effort to illustrate that the killings begin at the same instant of Hitler's conception. Never one to limit himself in form or content, Moore has also published novels, Voice of the Fire and Jerusalem, and an epic poem, The Mirror of Love.From Hell goes there, serving as a freaky introduction to life without time, magical incantations, demons, and the power of location upon magic. Taking place in a grimy, crime-filled East End London, like I said this is Moore's take on the infamous Jack The Ripper legend, the notorious serial killer from the late 1800s who was famously never caught nor even identified; and this being Moore, of course, his take on the whole affair is a complicated and fantastical one, a grand conspiracy involving the royal family, an illegitimate child, the Freemasons, a respected surgeon who doubles as a violent psychopath, brain strokes misinterpreted as religious visions, Medieval Christian churches whose architects snuck pagan references into the plans. Más allá de la miríada de teorías existentes, que van desde lo sublime hasta lo ridículo, Moore presenta una ingeniosa visión de la matanza.
