Killer Komix 2

by et al. Ghura

Several of the world's most notorious serial killer cases are here represented in adult comic strip form, deconstructing the media circus which surrounds the phenomenon of the serial killer, while at the same time recognizing the impact these pariahs have had on (mis)shaping the twentieth century. Lust-murderers like Jack the Ripper and Bible John-both of whom are featured in Killer Komix 2 -remain topical with writers speculating on their possible real identities and motives.

[Rex Hurst · Rating 4 out of 5]

An anthology of stories detailing serial killer cases. In this issue installment they discuss: Ten Bundy, Jack the Ripper, The Yorkshire Ripper, Bible John (Scotland's first recorded serial killer), The Boston Strangler, Harvey Glatman- The Bondage Murderer, and Fred West. Along with single page vignettes of a dozen more killers. Each is written and drawn by a different artist, but overall the material is above average and historically accurate. Most of these killers have been gone into in greater detail elsewhere, but these give a decent overview.
