Reread for the first time since my teens. Better than i remember, which is really saying something 

blaje42's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I really struggled to get into this. Did not find much compelling, and when I hit the very long chapter that was, for no clear reason, a tour of some London buildings with a mix of history and conspiracy theories I checked out. 

This is a hefty graphic novel. I love the dark mood of Victorian London as Jack the Ripper stalks the streets, and the sketchy black and white illustrations reflect this.
It's a murder mystery, with conspiracy and police cover ups, and some Freemasons.
I love Moore's work, he tends to take concepts and twist them and make them into something darker. Who knew you could make Jack the Ripper darker?!
I gave this 4 instead of 5 because the Freemason stuff bored me a little bit. but, it's a great graphic novel.
