10 Terrifying Comics About Real Life Crimes
8. Green River Killer: A True Detective Story By Jeff Jensen And Jonathan Case
Often the most fascinating part of True Crime is finding out about crimes you'd never heard of.
Gary Ridgway is not a name that will cause many people's alarm bells to ring. But it is in fact the name of the United States' second most prolific serial killer.
Ridgway was also known as the Green River Killer due to the fact that the Green River was where his victims were found before they could identify him. The killer's capture was also not only due to police investigation but through the help of the notorious Ted Bundy, who gave officers a glimpse into the head of a killer.
The comic of the same name tells the story of the Killer through black and white panels, showing you the hunt for a man who ended up killing at least 48 people.
An added bonus for the book is that the author, Jeff Jensen is the son of Tom Jensen, who was one of the detectives involved in the Green River killer investigations - so you know that the stories told in this book are not just made up for dramatic effect.
