...remains influential today. ARRESTED.

...Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Topnotch publishers such as Drawn and Quarterly, Oni, and Highwater Books, who exist on very slim margins, found themselves suddenly unable to collect monies owed them by LPC. Top Shelf, the Marietta, Georgia-based publisher of "From Hell," the comicbook inspiration for the Johnny Depp movie of last year, was compelled to release an extraordinary electronic plea for $20,000 in direct purchases to save it from going under...
...DIED. TED DEMME, 37, director of last year's Blow, starring Johnny Depp; in Los Angeles.

The movie version puts the focus on Inspector Aberline (Depp) and keeps the mystery of Jack's identity going until the final reel. This changes the whole purpose of the work from an examination of "a kind of lace tyin' things together. A kind of lace over everything," as one prophetic character says, into a dull murder mystery with conspiratorial overtones...
...Ultimately "From Hell" the movie amounts to little more than a costume slasher picture, complete with punched-up "boo" effects. For those who have read the book the driving narrative of solving the mystery is moot, leaving little else to do except look at how pretty Depp and Graham are. The clear sense of artistic vision has been clouded by the commercial vision of making a blockbuster. In comparison, "Ghost World," with it's integral participation of the original artist, remains the truer, and far more meaningful adaptation...
