Description
Issue 19 of Jack the Ripper plunges readers into one of the most chilling episodes of the Whitechapel murders: the arrival of the infamous “Saucy Jacky” postcard.
Posted in October 1888 and addressed to the Central News Agency, its taunting message appeared to boast of the “double event” murders of Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes. Was it written by the killer, an opportunistic hoaxer, or a journalist feeding a terrified public’s appetite for horror?
This atmospheric issue carries you into the smoke-filled offices of The Star, where editors, reporters and printers helped turn the unknown murderer into a figure of worldwide infamy. Follow the police as they examine the postcard, pursue leads and confront a city paralysed by rumour. Discover the story of Thomas Coram and the bloodstained knife found on Whitechapel Road, from those dark autumn nights.
Packed with dramatic artwork, painstaking historical detail and a haunting recreation of Victorian London, Issue 19 explores how a few handwritten words intensified fear across the capital.
The message was brief. Its consequences were enormous.
