From Hell Companion by Alan             Moore
"You know how the current theory/ common wisdom is that we only use 10% of our brain? It seems we've only ever read about 10% of what Alan Moore has ever written.

This book is a perfect reason why someone, somewhere, needs to do what Eddie Campbell gives us a taste of here and that's start publishing the COMPLETE ALAN MOORE SCRIPTS. To Quote from E.C.'s introduction,

"These scripts are rich with incident and information that didn't always, or couldn't find its way onto the printed page... Some very fine writing is buried in these scripts, and nobody has ever read
it except me." (pg 12)

Details like the color and rational for the color of clothing, (in a work that he knew would be done in B&W) the psychological underpinning for buildings in the background, amazingly details which is up to the artist to portray in a way he finds possible. (E.C. addresses this in his text, what he kept and what he couldn't)

Frustratingly this is only a taste of what it could have been. As E.C. describes, "I have selected what I find to be the most memorable pages, ninety out of a possible five hundred and one..." (pg 12)

If this isn't enough for you you can try to hunt down a copy of "From Hell: The Compleat Scripts" [9781880325070] but they're rare and only include the scripts for the first three chapters."
