This major graphic novel tells the story of Jack the Ripper, the most infamous serial murderer of all time. Although suggesting that the murderer was Dr. William Gull, Queen Victoria’s physician, covering up for her grandson Albert who had fathered a child by a prostitute. Moore says Jack’s identity is inconsequential to the manner in which society embraced the fear “It’s about us. It’s about our minds and how they dance. Jack mirrors our hysteria. Faceless, he is the receptacle for each new social panic"
