Alan Moore’s take on Jack the Ripper, based loosely on Stephen Knight’s proposed solution. Meticulously researched in terms of both art and the patois of the times. Rich with detail. Topped off by Mr. Moore’s signature touch that leaves you wondering just a little bit about reality.
Now, before you say, wait-a-minute-wasn’t-there-a-film-starring-Johnny-Depp-that-sucked-sideways, I’d like to point something out – that film bears as little resemblance to this graphic novel, as Tom Cruise bears to the Jack Reacher of the books.
