Eddie Campbell
Eddie Campbell is best known for his collaboration with Alan Moore on the epic graphic novel, From Hell. He's also known for creating the irreverent and wine-soaked series Bacchus, which revives the Greek gods in a sprawling, unpredictable, and enormously entertaining thousand-page epic; and the award-winning autobiographical series Alec, which has earned him the reputation as one of the great raconteurs in the medium of comics. His other collaborations include The Birth Caul and Snakes & Ladders (also with Alan Moore), two moving and personal poems adapted into the comics form. Married and a father of three, Eddie writes and draws from his home in a quiet suburb of Queensland, Australia.
