From Hell: Master Edition #7
"The Best of All Tailors." The Ripper's bloody work reaches its horrific climax. And afterwards... there is only descent. Five unsolved murders. Two of the greatest creators in the history of comics. One sprawling conspiracy, one metropolis on the brink of the 20th century, and one bloody-minded Ripper ushering London into the modern age of terror. The award-winning bestseller FROM HELL, often ranked among the greatest graphic novels of all time, takes on haunting new dimensions in FROM HELL: The Master Edition, enhanced with impressionistic hues by Eddie Campbell himself. This volume contains Chapter 10, as well as all the original annotations.

Ce 7e volume décrit sur quarante page le meurtre, puis les mutilations subies par la dernière victime - en tout cas du "canon" -, Marie Kelly. Autant dire que le macabre est insoutenable - et, là encore, difficile de donner le moindre crédit au choix de Campbell comme un dessinateur qui "n'offrirait aucune complaisance (au sordide)", puisque le cadrage reste assez précisément - et peut-être bien davantage ici d'ailleurs, où les descriptions de Moore sont bien davantage littéralement suivies - celui du scénariste.
N'en reste pas moins ce prodige de Moore, qui parvient à faire passer, à travers cet interminable rituel funeste, quelque chose des ressorts psychiques de son personnage, en entrelaçant les découpages de viandes à la Kokoschka avec des scènes hallucinées ou visionnaires, et qui justifient dès lors la dimension ésotérique du projet. Un tour de force en effet - même s'il est bien difficile "d'aimer" cette oeuvre, plutôt que d'être in awe devant une telle puissance créatrice.
