From Hell appeared in the Taboo anthology for comics in 1991 and subsequently was published in different comics magazines. Most readers nowadays encounter the work in its collected one-volume printing which has around 572 pages. From Hell is a tale of ascension and apotheosis, of how a man becomes a god. More importantly for our purposes here today: From Hell is an experimentation of how this god might see history. Not as a chronological string of events tied together by the historian’s explanation, but as a frightening achronicity. All time, past and future, descending towards a present so vast that it can only be fathomed by a divine gnosis.
