Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper by Rick Geary  64 pp.

Once again Geary does an excellent job of telling the story of an infamous series of murders. This time he based the graphic novel on the journals (24 volumes worth) of "an unknown British gentleman" who followed the murders intently and played armchair detective. As in other volumes of this series, Geary packs a lot into the slim book. The artwork, all pen & ink, has a dark quality without being gory. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy this series?
