 From Hell - Alan Moore, Eddie Campbell - Graphic novel review
Campbell's monochrome artwork on the story is typical of his style but perfectly suited to the dark, gas-lit streets of Victorian London.
There's an evocation of the period here and Campbell's work is perfect to pull you into the pea-soup fog and grimy poverty.
This is horror at its most disturbing, partly because it's based on a true series of crimes and partly because of the complete disregard the ruling classes have for their socially inferior neighbours.

 Neil Gaiman - Neil Gaiman's Journal
Well, the news, at http://www.eddiecampbellcomics.com/ isn't that Eddie Campbell Comics is stopping.
Just that Eddie's not going to be self-publishing the next major work he's doing, and is enjoying not working for himself for right now.
(At least, that's what it says if I've read it right.) In the meantime, twenty years of Eddie Campbell work, on Alec and on Bacchus, is now pretty much all collected and in print and available, which is in itself a small cause for celebration.

It is unfair to cast Campbell as an inferior draftsman, as he has proved time and time again that he's perfectly capable of rendering near-photographic quality with his pen...
From there, Campbell thought it'd be keen to do a quarterly magazine entitled EGOMANIA, (as Campbell is quick to point out, his wife named it) where he'd not only do a continuing graphic history of humor, but also various articles & interviews of anything that currently struck his fancy.
Campbell now has a good-sized and well-deserved fan base, (myself among them) who will keep their eyes peeled in anticipation.

 TIME.com: All Yours in No Easy Steps -- Page 1
Eddie Campbell's new book, "Alec: How to be an Artist," ($13.95, 128pp.) should not be confused with books like Lee & Buscema's "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way," or Will Eisner's "Graphic Storytelling." Consider the cover: a man sits with his head in his hand, thinking.
Using this tether Campbell dives into and returns from extended caveats on subjects like the history of the industry during the '80s "boom-years," the difference between craft and art, and the challenges of remaining an Artist in such an historically disposable medium.
Campbell has a sketchy style that captures the essence of a moment through the expression of his line, rather than minute details.

Eddie Campbell, as writer, artist, and publisher, is an entity unlike any other you are likely to find in the annals of comics history.

If you have never read an Eddie Campbell comic that he himself wrote, you are, in my estimation, missing out on one of the finest experiences that comics, indeed, even has to offer.

 Ninth Art - The Friday Review: Alec: How To Be An Artist
Campbell continues to use the character of Alec from his earlier works, the excellent THE KING CANUTE CROWD and GRAFFITI KITCHEN (the latter in particular is highly recommended), but the reader is left in no doubt that, as with the earlier works, this follows the story of Campbell's own life.
In his brief Foreword, Campbell suggests that, "If you don't care for history, then just pretend I made it all up." It is a great tribute to Campbell (both his storytelling ability and the way he has lived his life) that the book is capable of standing on its entertainment value alone.
Campbell's writing style is refreshingly frank and conversational - the reader is left with the feeling that they are listening to a person speak, rather than lifting the words visually from the page.

Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's 11-year Jack the Ripper project is finally collected.
Campbell's scratchy, organic art is the perfect way to depict this period, and the effects achieved when the style varies into softer tones are very nice indeed.
Campbell, on the other hand, has used his research to ensure that the art is accurate down to the smallest details, which provides a solid grounding for Moore to straddle the line between fiction and reality.
