10 Terrifying Comics About Real Life Crimes

10. From Hell By Alan Moore And Eddie Campbell

Anyone with a passing interest in serial killers will know the infamous Jack The Ripper. The man (or ape as some theorists would have you believe) who haunted the streets of East London in the late 19th Century is a fascinating tale of terror.

As you will know, The Whitechapel Murderer was never caught and people to this day are still trying to figure out who he is.

This comic gives Alan Moore's (the writer of such works as Watchmen and V For Vendetta) own interpretation of who he thought may have been the Ripper, based mostly on the book by Stephen McKnight.

Moore points the finger at William Gull, the real Queen Victoria's real physician, who is sent on a hit of four prostitutes who are blackmailing a member of the Royal Family.

Obviously, given the subject matter, most of this story is fiction, however, the back of the collected edition of this story is filled with details listed in the appendix on why Moore decided to write what he did. After seeing the evidence, you may just be convinced of Gull's guilt.
