“I shall tell you where we are. We’re in Hell.”

From Hell by Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell

September 6, 2019 by blauracke 2 Comments

I own very few graphic novels, and this one about Jack the Ripper and his crimes I’ve had for years but never read it. Someone gave it to me, but it seemed unappealing because I’ve grown tired of the serial killer who mutilates women. I can stomach it if it is more about the discovering of the murderer’s identity than the actual deeds themselves, which this book, as I understood it, was not about.

I guess the last number of years have just really […]

When I was a kid, we didn’t have a Barnes and Noble, but we did have a Books a Million. This Books a Million had a tiny and unimpressive comics section, and mostly we went there to pay Magic the Gathering. Anyhoo, I remember seeing Watchmen on the shelf and noticing it about 1000 times and wanting to but not wanting to read it. It seemed scary and intimidating.
