I was born the same year the Attica Prison riot in NY happened, the biggest prison uprising in US history. It was caused by the killing of inmate George Jackson at San Quentin, from which he‘d attempted escape. Had he succeeded, the progess of the Black Power movement may have been much more effective and probably more militant (in my opinion). This book should be read by anyone trying to understand race relations and incarceration in the US.

One of the great works of art from the 20th century, it weaves alternate theories about Jack The Ripper with ever-deepening layers of occultism and British history. Not that accessible for the “lay” reader; know your late Victorian history! Moore and Campbell are responsible in no small way for the “graphic novel” being considered as literature and high art. Amazing accomplishment and pretty damn ghastly. I‘m still spooked.
