In 1888-9, a series of horrific murders terrified London. The victims- female, often prostitutes- were hideously carved and missing organs. The serial killer was never caught, but sent letters to the police signed "Jack the Ripper." The tale grips us to this day, and is retold by Rick Geary through the eyes of a fictional contemporary.
It's a good story; the black-and-white art is basic but works (and avoids being overly graphic), and the facts are conveyed well. This is a good way to learn about these events.
