(About "From Hell")
“The idea was to do a documentary comic about A Murder.
I concluded that there was a way of approaching the [Ripper] murders in a completely different way.
I changed the emphasis
from 'Whodunit'
to 'What Happened'.
I'd seen advertisements
for Douglas Adams' book
"Dirk Gently's Holistic
Detective Agency".
A holistic detective?
You wouldn't just
have to solve The Crime,
You'd have to solve
The entire World that
that crime happened in.
That was the twist that I needed.
— Alan Moore
